Do I have to pay an overpayment of payroll?

I gave a 2 weeks written notice when I left my last job. I got paid bi-monthly and I received my normal paycheck. I assumed this was for the days I worked and 1 week of vacation due me. I then received another paycheck. I had a heart attack about that time so I considered it a blessing. Now I am being sued for overpayment of payroll by the company. I feel it is the company’s fault for not keying in my termination date like they should have. Do I have to pay this back?
