Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

Can a former employer come after you for overpaying your severance? I have been separated from them for 1 1/2 years and they say they overpaid my severance and want it back ($1600). When I received the extra severance, I phoned to make sure it wasn't a mistake, and their representative (who no longer works there) said it was correct.

However, whether such could be credibly proven in a court of law by a

preponderance of the evidence is quite another matter.
