While I wish that you had written more here about the facts of the case, from what little you have written I can say generally your daughter has no right to money that is not hers simply because a clerical or administrative error caused it to be sent to her. If she did not realize that she was not entitled to it then the allegation that she did something illegal is unfounded. But I would indeed rectify the matter now that she knows. Good luck.
