The following excerpt is from Mays v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 28 F.3d 107 (9th Cir. 1994):
The Social Security Act provides for a reduction in disability insurance benefits of an individual who is also receiving state workers' compensation benefits. See 42 U.S.C. Sec. 424(a). Specifically, Sec. 424(a) mandates that disability insurance benefits must be reduced by the amount by which the sum of disability insurance benefits and periodic benefits under a worker's compensation plan exceed 80% of the individual's "average current earnings". See id.; Worley v. Harris, 666 F.2d 417, 420 (9th Cir.1982).
