After numerous verbal reminders to refund the excessive withholdings, I still have not received my money. How do I pursue collecting my money in court?

I woukd meet with your employer or the employer's human resources department about the need for reimbursement of excessive withholding of your social security deductions on your pay checks and that such needs to be reimbursed to you by a certain date. Follow up with a letter confirming the meeting. Keep a copy of such for future use and need.
If you do not get reimbursement of such by the demanded date, then small claims court is an option of making a complaint with your local department of labor is another.
