<prompt> Human: Hey guys so i am really conflicted right now and not sure what I should do.I am currently a junior in college and receiving federal student subsidized loans. This semester was hell to get my loan as the financial aid office kept messing everything up. After being told my check was in the mail i got an email that my check was available for pick-up, so I just went and grabbed it and cashed it.So now today in the mail i just received ANOTHER check for the exact same amount. Different check number, different dates all that stuff.So the question is, do I cash it? Am i breaking some kind if law if I do? Will the school or whoever have the legal right to come after me expecting the money back? I mean if i hand you money i cant just come back monthsyears later and say oh it was an accident give it back. Can i? Very conflicted as this is a 2,600 check which is a LOT for my college student ass.Thanks for your help guys!Edit: this is a private college btw so the government is not really involved. Not sure how relevant that is.  <response>: If it was given to you in error, it is not your money.
