Set Offs

When computing work loss benefits, if a government benefit (1) serves the same purpose as the work loss benefits and; (2) is provided as a result of the same accident, then the benefits can be set off.

Based on Michigan case law, the following government benefits can be set off:

• Social Security Survivor's Benefits
• Social Security Disability Benefits (may be set off)
• Federal Military Benefits
• Federal Unemployment Benefits under Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act
• State Worker's Compensation Benefits (may be set off)

Those which cannot be set off include:

• Social Security Retirement Benefits
• Wage Continuation to Township Employees (may not be set off)
• Federal Worker's Compensation Benefits (may not be set off)
