P.R. Laws tit. 11, § 33
The rights and actions arising from this chapter cannot be negotiated, transferred, or assigned; nor shall they be the object of attachment or claims of third persons, and no judge shall authorize any order for such purposes.
Notwithstanding the provision of the preceding paragraph, the Manager of the State Insurance Fund shall deduct for reimbursement, from any benefits to which an injured worker or employee is entitled hereunder, the payments made to him under any other government insurance program. This deduction shall be made upon presentation by the Director of the Government Agency, Bureau or Office of a certified invoice containing the liquidation of the disability benefit payments made to a worker or employee chargeable to the funds of the government insurance program under his administration. This deduction shall never be made for an amount exceeding the balance of the benefits to which the injured worker or employee is entitled hereunder at the time the State Insurance Fund makes the liquidation or payment of said invoice.
