Babcock, J.

The Motion for Order Approving Stipulation of Award of Attorney Fees Under the
Equal Access to Justice Act, (doc. #22), filed March 16, 2015, is GRANTED. In consideration
thereof, it is
ORDERED that Defendant, the Acting Commissioner (Commissioner) pay to Plaintiff,
through counsel, reasonable attorney fees and expenses in the amount of $5,872. It is further
ordered that if, after receiving the Court's EAJA fee order, the Commissioner 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, the Commissioner has agreed to waive the
requirements of the Anti-Assignment Act, and the EAJA 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. The Commissioner agrees that Plaintiff's payment will be delivered to
Plaintiff's attorney at her office at 2139 Chuckwagon Rd., Ste 305, Colorado Springs, CO.

Dated at Denver, Colorado, this 17th day of March 2015.
