A Compensation Claim records a request for economic recognition of governed work. It connects a Qualified Node, a Qualified Service Provider, a Chargeable Work Unit, a Work Performed Event, an Evidence Reference, and an applicable Cost Rule.
A Compensation Claim supports chargeback, reimbursement, settlement, provider comparison, audit, and dispute resolution in the Cost Recovery, Compensation, and Settlement Plane. It gives the architecture a structured record that identifies the work claimed, the responsible provider, the supporting evidence, and the settlement context.
A Compensation Claim does not prove by itself that the claimed work satisfies all obligations. The claim relies on linked work records, qualification records, cost rules, and evidence references for validation.

FX Demo Reference Architecture, Part 6: Cost Recovery, Compensation, and Settlement Plane
A Compensation Claim differs from a payment. The claim records a request for recognition, reimbursement, chargeback, or settlement. Accounting, governance, contractual, or regulatory processes determine final disposition.
A Compensation Claim also differs from a Work Performed Event. A Work Performed Event records completed work. A Compensation Claim requests economic treatment for that work.
A sanctions screening Node completes a screening action and records a Work Performed Event with an Evidence Reference. The responsible Qualified Service Provider submits a Compensation Claim that identifies the chargeable work, the applicable cost rule, and the settlement context.
