Spanish term or phrase: ser de parte de
When discussing a benefit employees receive, a moderator asks workers ¿es de parte de ustedes o lo han utilizado? in reference to this benefit.
How would I translate "de parte de" in this context? I understand it to mean from or on someone's part/behalf, but I'm unsure how it is meant in this context.

The full sentence is: "Ese beneficio que tienen del fondo, ¿es de parte de ustedes o lo han utilizado?" The benefit being discussed is an emergency fund.

The sentence is taken from a transcript and so is spoken conversation and is Mexican Spanish.

to belong to


Explanation:
It can mean 'to be on behalf of' but I think the belonging of the benefit as a possession is the equivalent in the reference.

"Este beneficio que tienen del fondo ¿es de parte de ustedes o lo han utilizado?
"Does the benefit that you have belong to you or have you used it?"

Explanation:
There are several ways to go about this and all of them are correct.
You can say is this part of your [employee] benefits? or you can be direct and ask:
Are you enrolled in this program?
Two options to choose from.
