Foreclosures are costly and time consuming for banks. A cash for keys deal occurs when a bank allows someone to sell their home for less than its value (short sale) and gives them a predetermined amount of cash to help them move.

Can you move back into your house in foreclosure?

No, but this depends on what state you are in - If you are in CA, then the bank (or private party) will post a 3 Day Notice to vacate the home (after foreclosure) - depending on which bank, it sometimes will take them a couple days to coordinate this. On a more practical matter, they will generally offer you "cash for keys" and give you $1000-$3000 to leave within a certain time frame (7-14 days) and leave the home is "broom clean" condition. They do this because the cost of eviction and risk that the homeowner will steal things from the home or leave the home damaged is much greater then the cash for keys. If its not too late then check the details to stop or avoid foreclosure or contact some professional.

Does Bank of America give cash for keys?

Yes they do give cash for keys. They are giving me $2000 and 30 days. I am hoping to negotiate for slightly more. UPDATE: As of Dec 13, 2010, Bank of America reports they no longer offer the Cash for Keys program. They do a variety of other programs, including HAFA and regular short sales, but no Cash for Keys. I verified this with four representatives of BoA. They confirmed that they had offered it in the past, but no longer do so.
