Until you repay the money you got through fraud.

This is yet another "depends upon the unidentified jurisdiction" question. I can tell you that in California, your obligation to pay restitution as a condition of probation would end when your probation ended, and your probation would probably not be for more than five years. HOWEVER, that would not end your legal obligation to pay the restitution--it would be enforceable as a civil judgment. So, for five years if you willfully fail to pay you can go to jail. After that, the only effect would be a wage garnishment or such other means of collection as would be available civilly.
However, again, your jurisdiction, whatever it is, may be different.

I'm not sure what you are asking-- are you wondering if you can lay low long enough (without paying) for everyone to forget that you owed the money??? If this is a real question (which I doubt), and you were ordered to make restitution, you will very likely find yourself in serious trouble if you don't pay as ordered-- either your wages will be garniseed (and you will be amazed at how much of your paycheck they can take) or you will find yourself in jail. So either pay it off, or make arrangements to make payments. Good Luck, you cheating loser!!!

There are currently two crimes in the United States that has no statute of limitation: the first is murder and the other is fraud. Since you have already been convicted of the latter, the enforcement of this order will continue until full restitution is made.

If you will look at your court order papers it will tell you how long you are on "probation" or "parole" and this is the length of time you have to make those restitutions.
Should you fail to fulfill that order,you will go to jail for contempt of court.
If you are smart enough to figure out how to defraud someone you ought to be smart enough to figure out your court orders and if not surely you are smart enough to ask your lawyer.
