I got a laptop as part of a welfare program. I got terminated, what happens if I don't return it.

We cannot answer you because we do not know the terms of you receiving the laptop...the terms of the contract you signed when you got the laptop.

IF the terms require its return..then return it , .....

the reason for your termination may be extremely relevant to whether or not you may keep the laptop without consequence or penalty.

but given there is a penalty for not returning an ID card in many welfare programs, I expect the laptop is almost certainly not yours to keep as you've laid it out here
