Death of a spouse W2 form tax question - Help!

Hello Community,

My wife passed away in 2023, but in 2024, she received 3 separate miniscule settlement payments from a prior employer of hers totaling approx $148.00 All 3 payments had fed & state taxes deducted, and I cashed the checks. My question is, I, myself, now file single, but how do I file these?  The 3, W2's have her name and SS#, do I file a separate tax return for her, even though she was deceased all of 2024, or do I somehow add them to my return? Any help would be appreciated.
