FERNANDEZ, Judge.

We granted review of this case in order to resolve an issue of first impression.

We affirm and approve the Court of Appeals' holding that, under A.R.S. § 23-1023(B), a workers' compensation claim assigned by operation of law to the State Compensation Fund may be conditionally reassigned to the claimant so as to preclude claims against the state after the reassignment.
