quit, still getting paid, should I tell them.

Put in 2 weeks notice. Start working new job. Notice old job paid me again, assume it is because payroll lags a week. Old job pays me a second time, maybe they are paying me the vacation time I had accrued. Call 401k to roll over, “we can't because you are still an active employee”. This company has laid off so many people and is so poorly managed right now, I believe they may never notice. I have become the office space glitch in the payroll system. It feels unethical to not tell them, but I am torn. Should I let them suffer the consequences of their own poorly executed restructuring where no one has a clue any more?
