Ramos v. Artco Store Fixtures
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 1, 2000 · Kahn, Padovano, Webster
763 So. 2d 1211; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 5164; 2000 WL 524821 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Ramos v. Artco Store Fixtures

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the order on all issues on appeal except one. The JCC erred in awarding the employer and carrier a social security offset taken retroactively. See South Fla. Water Management Dist. v. Ciacci, 647 So.2d 203, 205 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994) (holding that an E/C may only take a social security offset prospectively, as of the date it exercises its right under statute). Accordingly, we AFFIRM in part, *1212REVERSE as to the retroactive social security offset, and REMAND to the JCC.

KAHN, WEBSTER, and PADOVANO, JJ., CONCUR.
