Why would I get a W2 from former employer when I did not work for them that year?

Some backstory... I was let go from a long time job in early December of 2017. My last check was issued, cashed and cleared before the year’s end. I get the mail yesterday, and there is a W2 for the 2018 year from former employer. I did the math, and it equates to the last check they issued me, in December of 2017. There have been no other payments from this employer since. How could this have happened, and what should I do?
