The trouble-prone niece of former Vice President Joe Biden has paid back the $110,000 she spent during a yearlong shopping spree on a stolen credit card, prosecutors said Friday.

Caroline Biden, 30, was in court Friday to check in with Justice Kevin McGrath about the status of her community service and restitution — part of a plea deal she took in June to settle her grand and petty larceny case.

She has admitted to using an unidentified victim’s credit card at C.O. Bigelow Apothecary in the West Village between April 2015 and June 2016, racking up the hefty bill.

“Restitution has already been paid off,” Assistant District Attorney Alona Katz told McGrath.

Biden also has nearly finished her community service, Katz said.

She’s expected to get her felony rap reduced to a misdemeanor when she returns to court in May. At that point, she’ll get a probation sentence.

Biden was also busted in 2013 for a scuffle with her roommate — and for attacking a cop who responded to their apartment.

The officer was unharmed and Biden got a jail-free deal.
