PER CURIAM.
We affirm the order of the judge of industrial claims, with the observation that social security offset can be deducted administratively by the employer. Capital Lincoln Mercury, Inc. v. Knowles, IRC Order 2-3756 (April 6, 1979); Aero Corporation v. Raulerson, IRC Order 2-3700 (February 15, 1979); Winter Garden Citrus Products v. Huffstutler, IRC Order 2-3563 (October 6, 1978); Town Drug, Inc. v. Maples, IRC Order 2-3389 (April 5, 1978). There is no provision in the law, however, for retroactive application of the offset provision or for recovery of excess payments resulting from a failure of the employer to timely take the appropriate offset. Beulah Baptist Church v. Brantley, IRC Order 2-3907 (September 11, 1979).
ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., Acting C. J., and SHAW and WENTWORTH, JJ., concur.

Also, the off-set is self-executing, just as a social security off-set and an unemployment compensation off-set are self-executing. See Florida Power & Light Co. v. Adkins, 377 So. 2d 57 (Fla. 1st DCA 1979), and Borden, Inc. v. Butler, 377 So. 2d 795 (Fla. 1st DCA 1979).
