If Social Security is a Constitutionally, Legal, Federal Government Program the answer is no. If Social Security is an unConstitutional, Federal Government Program the answer is still no. Money was taken from the workers wages by the Federal Government which promised to return the money at retirement, or in case of a debilitating injury.

Workman's Compensation, by taking a workers Social Security wages, is guilty of theft if Social Security is Constitutional, or guilty of accessory to theft if Social Security is unConstitutional.
Amounts you receive as workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury are fully exempt from tax if they are paid under a workers' compensation act or a statute in the nature of a workers' compensation act. The exemption also applies to your survivors. The exemption, however, does not apply to retirement plan benefits you receive based on your age, length of service, or prior contributions to the plan, even if you retired because of an occupational sickness or injury. If part of your workers' compensation reduces your social security or equivalent railroad retirement benefits received, that part is considered social security (or equivalent railroad retirement) benefits and may be taxable.

Workers’ compensation benefits are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes. These benefits are designed to compensate employees for workplace injuries or illnesses, and the law protects them from taxation to ensure injured workers can focus on recovery. However, there is one exception: if a person is receiving both workers’ compensation and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) (954-618-1776) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), their workers’ comp benefits may reduce their Social Security payments. This is called an “offset.” In such cases, the portion of workers’ comp benefits considered as SSDI income may be subject to taxation, depending on the individual’s total income. If a person cannot pay taxes on this taxable portion, the consequences mirror those of unpaid taxes in general. The IRS may assess penalties and interest on the unpaid amount. Continued non-payment can lead to tax liens, garnished wages, or levies on bank accounts. It’s crucial for individuals in this situation to act proactively. They can contact the IRS to set up a payment plan, explore hardship options, or consult a tax professional for advice. For most, though, workers’ compensation benefits remain tax-free, making this a rare issue to face.
RSU offset refers to the reduction in the number of restricted stock units (RSUs) granted to an employee to offset any overpayment or excess compensation they may have received. This can impact employee compensation by adjusting the total value of RSUs granted to ensure fair and equitable pay.
