OPINION
TOM SCHANZLE-HASKINS, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE:
Plaintiff Debbie Jane Adamczyk’s Motion for Attorney Fees Pursuant
to the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412 (d/e 22)
(Motion) is ALLOWED. The Defendant Commissioner has no objection to
the Motion. This Court awards Plaintiff $6,977.64 for attorney fees and
expenses (the “Award”). The Award fully and completely satisfies any and
all claims for fees, costs, and expenses that may have been payable to
Plaintiff in this case under the EAJA.
The Award belongs to Plaintiff, but Plaintiff may, and has, assigned
her right to the Award to her attorney Howard D. Olinsky. Attorney’s
Affirmation in Support of Motion for EAJA Fees (d/e 23), Exhibit E,
Affirmation and Waiver of Direct Payment of EAJA Fees. The United

States may also take an offset against the Award to satisfy any pre-existing
debts that Plaintiff owes the United States. See Astrue v. Ratliff, __ U.S.
__. 130 S.Ct. 2521 (2010).
If the United States determines that all or any
portion of the Award is not subject to offset for such debts, Defendant shall
pay the portion of the Award not subject to offset to Plaintiff’s attorney
Howard D. Olinsky.
