If you committed fraud, or were overpaid and didn't tell anyone, they might be able to look into that.
But if you're getting paid what you're supposed to be getting paid, no they can't mess with your pension.
Also I'm fairly certain congress recently enacted a statute of limitations to prevent .gov from finding overpayments from 30 years ago, adding up the interest and then billing pensioners for hundreds of thousands $ (that did happen in the past, at least a couple times).
