IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff be awarded fees under the Equal
Access to Justice Act in the amount of $3,400.00 (three thousand four hundred dollars
and no cents), pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1920, 2414(d).
EAJA fees having been awarded, the government will consider the matter of the
assignment of EAJA fees to Plaintiff’s attorney. Pursuant to Ratliffe v. Astrue, 130
S.Ct. 2521 (2010), the ability to honor the assignment will depend on whether the fees
are subject to any offset allowed under the United States Department of the Treasury’s
Offset Program. After the order for EAJA fees is entered, the government will
determine whether they are subject to any offset.

10

Fees shall be made payable to Plaintiff, but if the Department of Treasury

11

determines that Plaintiff does not owe a federal debt, then the government shall cause

12

the payment fees, to be made directly to LAW OFFICES OF LISA C. GILINGER,

pursuant to the assignment executed by Plaintiff. Any payments shall be delivered to
