Opinion

Per Curiam.

Plaintiff filed an action in the [2]*2Wayne Circuit Court for reimbursement of Social Security benefits deducted by defendant in paying survivor’s loss benefits under MCL 500.3109(1); MSA 24.13109(1) of the "no fault” insurance act. The defendant appeals from an order of the trial court granting summary judgment to the plaintiff.

This issue has been litigated several times before the Court of Appeals. Most of the decisions have adopted the rationale or result obtained in the majority opinion in O’Donnell v State Farm Mutual Automobile Ins Co, 70 Mich App 487; 245 NW2d 801 (1976). However, the Supreme Court, in a very recent opinion, has reversed this Court’s holding in O’Donnell, 404 Mich 524; 273 NW2d 829 (1979). In view of the pronouncement of the Supreme Court, we accordingly reverse the decision of the trial court granting summary judgment and remand for entry of an order consistent with the opinion of the Supreme Court.

Reversed.
