Payment of benefits shall be made upon receipt of a completed first claim form accompanied by an affidavit executed by such person or persons. The payment by the department of such benefits upon receipt of such affidavit, or affidavits, shall discharge the obligations of the department to the extent of such payment, without the necessity of inquiring into the truth of any of the facts stated in the affidavit. The department shall prescribe the form of affidavit to be executed.
