 ### Fixed
 
+- Fix token association verification in `token_airdrop_transaction.py` to correctly check if tokens are associated by using `token_id in token_balances` instead of incorrectly displaying zero balances which was misleading (#[815])
 - Fixed inactivity bot workflow not checking out repository before running (#964)
 - Fixed the topic_message_query integarion test
 - good first issue template yaml rendering
