ORDER
______________________________________________________________________________
The Motion for Order Approving Stipulation of Award of Attorney Fees Under the
Equal Access to Justice Act, (doc. #24), filed October 15, 2015, is GRANTED. In
consideration thereof, it is
ORDERED that the Defendant pay to Plaintiff reasonable attorney’s fees and
expenses in the amount of $3,500.00. It is further ordered that if, after receiving the
Court’s EAJA fee order, the Commissioner (1) determines upon effectuation of the
Court’s EAJA fee order that Plaintiff does not owe a debt that is subject to offset under
the Treasury Offset Program, and (2) agrees to waive the requirements of the AntiAssignment Act, the fees will be made payable to Plaintiff’s attorney. However, if there
is a debt owned under the Treasury Offset Program, the Commissioner cannot agree to
waive the requirements of the Anti-Assignment Act, and the remaining EAJA fees after
offset will be paid by a check made out to Plaintiff but delivered to Plaintiff’s attorney.
Dated this 22nd day of October, 2015.
