Currently Furloughed , starting new job - query on repayment

So sorry if this has already been answered somewhere, but I've had a search and not seen about it
I'm currently furloughed but starting a new job with a new company. I will be handing in my notice, with my "final date" being the day before my new start date, so furlough will be recalculated up to that date.

With regards furlough pay vs pay in my new job,   I will be earning more in 2 weeks as I would be getting for a whole month of furlough before the recalculation.

Will my company/HMRC have to reclaim the furlough money for this month from me? needing to know for budget purposes as if it remains as being my money then it will go to credit card payment, whereas otherwise I'll pop it in an instant access savings account so I don't touch it until they request it back :) 

Thankyou

    The only time your employer could recover wages from you would be if you accepted a furlough agreement that said they could if they were unable to reclaim your wages from HMRC.
