The name implies you are in the DC area, is that right? The lack of clarity on this makes it tough for anyone to really give pointed advice. Is this for severance? Did they fail to pay you before they laid you off? Did you talk to anyone at the company? What did they say? How long has it been? Is it possible it's a mistake? Has this happened to others that were laid off? Of course you have legal avenues, but more info is needed to give proper advice.
