Yes. Why would you think otherwise? It is obvious an error is being made. You are obligated to notify them and pay them back.

If you fail to do so, you may be found responsible for civil and/or criminal responsibility. This might include civil theft which carries a possibility of treble damages and an award of attorney's fees for the prevailing party.
