Got fired, still getting paychecks

So as the title says, I was recently fired from a job about a month ago. I got my final paycheck, and it was the correct amount for the few days I worked in that pay period. Two weeks later I receive a full paycheck as if I had worked every day for two weeks. I contacted them and confirmed it was a mistake, and they contacted payroll to reverse it. Issue is..I’ve been having some financial issues. My account was in the negative by quite a bit, and on top of that multiple pending bills came out of my account once it was out of the negative. So they are going to be unable to retract the payment. I have no idea how to go about handling this as I have no income or savings. Can they pursue legal action if I am unable to repay them the money?
