Does this work out in my favor and will I get the maximum allowed amount??
Please help, thank you

Im not sure what you mean offset?
If you are on workmans comp, there is an 80% rule.....You cant make more than 80% of your working wages, so thats when I know the offset kicks in.....Now once your off WC your SS would be based on your previous 5 years of earnings and the offset is removed.
