CASE SUMMARY:    
In this unpublished per curiam Opinion, the Court relied on the previous Court of Appeals decision in Thacker v DAIIE (item number 511) and held that the defendant no-fault insurer was entitled, under §3109(1) of the Act to setoff the entire amount of workers' compensation benefits which plaintiff would have received had she not elected to redeem her workers' compensation claim. In addition, the no-fault insurer was entitled to setoff any social security disability benefits received by plaintiff from the Michigan Department of Social Services from its obligation to pay plaintiff no-fault work-loss benefits.
