in effect1. If the employee has filed a written designation of beneficiary, the final payment of compensation due a deceased employee of the State, or of any county, city, town, township, district or any other political subdivision of the State, is not the employees property or that of the employees estate but must be released to the designated beneficiary upon the written request of the beneficiary.
