Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Company states owe more money after being clear for 10 months, can they do that?

My fiance was terminated last August from the company he was working for for taking money from the registers. We pd the amount owed in full and were informed it was clear and we could move out. Today we got a letter stating we need to pay another $350 for stolen product...which he did not take and we have no idea what they are talking about. It stated we had to pay within 15 days of getting the letter or make a payment or they would start court proceedings. Since they already told us it was cleared I'm a little irritated that this is coming up 10 months letter. How long do they legally have in Kansas to continue popping up and stating we owe more money?

There is a statute of limitations that governs filing cases but if your fiancee agreed to pay back money he was taking from the registers, you may want to think about why he is your fiancee and how honest he has been with you. Isn't it possible that the company discovered another discrepancy and now suspects the same person that did it the first time? If they are proceeding against you in under one year's time, I'd say that isn't nearly what the statute of limitations is with regard to theft, especially now that it has been able to be discovered. You shouldn't be able to get away with theft simply because it took time for the victim to discover the full extent, especially when discovery might not have been so simple.
