CASE SUMMARY:   
In this short per curiam decision, this panel of the Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the conclusion in O'Donnell that it was unconstitutional to deduct Social Security benefits from no-fault survivor's benefits under §3109(1), but based its rationale on the holding in Pollock v Frankenmuth Mutual (item number 41) which dealt with workers' comp setoffs. Thus, the O'Donnell result was affirmed by another panel of the Court of Appeals but on a different theory.
