If you earned the bonus prior to separation of employment, and there is nothing in the written plans or employer policy against you receiving the bonus, then the bonus should be paid. The facts you indicate are that the employer did send yo the check, but are you saying they stopped payment? That would potentially bring about new claims as well. I think you should seek counsel, and discuss it in more detail.
