Text: Culver sustained an industrial injury in July 1992, while working for Ace Electric. Finding Culver to be PTD, the administrative law judge (ALJ) attributed sixty percent of the liability to the Colorado Compensation Insurance Authority (CCIA) and forty percent to the Subsequent Injury Fund (SIF) on account of a previous industrial injury. The ALJ denied the request of CCIA and SIF for an offset under section 8-42-103(1)(c)(II). On appeal, ICAO modified the ALJ's order and offset Culver's PTD benefits against his social security retirement benefits. The court of appeals affirmed the ICAO order, holding that section 8-42-103(1)(c) does not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution or the Due Process Clause of the Colorado Constitution, article II, section 25.
