Exactly. I don't know American laws, but I would submit my resignation by registered letter (I assume there are still doormen to receive those), and if they kept paying me I would put the cash in a savings account in case they ever remember to read the mail and notice they were paying me after quitting.

It's not moving from one company to another.

It's moving from the government regulator to a company regulated by that former employer. The rules on government conflicts of interest still apply, and you can't accept a paycheck from a regulated entity while you're still technically employed at the regulator.

I think it would probably be safer just to not cash the check from the previous employer.

I do. Lot of people do. Though you can also remove access to your direct deposit account too. That's the same thing really.
