Subject: Tax doods: help me with student loan repayment q

I am contemplating leaving my FedGov gig for more $$, but it is unlikely I'll be able to negotiate a start date later than the end date of my Service Agreement with my agency. This means I have to cough up 20k to repay the agency for the amount they threw on my law school loans. I only received 13k or so (~6500 out of each 10k payment) because of tax withholding. Service Agreement states quite clearly that I have to pay back the pretax amount though. Question: how do I get back what was overpaid in taxes those years (~7k) ? File a 1040X? How long does it take to get the cash back? Anyone ever done this before?
