1Opinion of the CourtPeatross, J.

|! After a trial on the merits in this workers’ compensation case, the Workers’ Compensation Judge (“WCJ”) held in favor of the claimant, Rufus White, awarding him supplemental earnings benefits (“SEBs”), attorney fees of $8,000, penalties of $10,750 and court costs. In his reasons for judgment, the WCJ stated that County Market failed to carry its burden of proving that it made a suitable job offer to Mr. White after he proved his disability and inability to return to work due to his work-related injury. This appeal ensued. For the reasons stated herein, we affirm in part and reverse in part.
