They've already paid back approximately $7 billion. The balance of the financial assistance was converted to a 61% equity/stock position. According to the WSJ, the value of GM's stock offering (common and preferred) would need to top $70 billion for the Treasury to break even. Ford is currently valued at around $40 billion, so many analysts think that GM should exceed that figure, and could possibly get to $70 billion shortly after the IPO launch.

The actual "when" of the payback depends on when the Treasury sells its stake. Just like with Citibank.
