Employee must be notified that __________ a benefit check affirms eligibility to compensation.

Endorsing a benefit check is the formal act by which the employee acknowledges receipt and asserts entitlement to the compensation. When the employee endorses the check, they are signing to confirm that the payment is due under their workers’ compensation claim and that they accept the funds. This endorsement provides a clear, legally recognized indication of eligibility, which is why it’s the term the notification should reference. Signing the check is related but not as precise a marker of eligibility; depositing moves funds, and merely receiving the funds doesn’t by itself confirm entitlement.
