PROPOSED ORDER

COMMISSIONER of Social Security,
Defendant.
Reasonable attorney fees in the amount of $3,318.25 are hereby awarded to Plaintiff’s

pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), she shall credit that fee
to Plaintiff, and may retain only the larger of the two fees. When issuing the § 406(b) check, the
agency is directed to subtract any amount received by Plaintiff’s attorney pursuant to the EAJA, and
to send the balance to Plaintiff’s attorney at her current address shown above. Any amount withheld
(including the EAJA fee offset) after all administrative and court attorneys fees are paid should be
released to the claimant.
DATED this 7th day of March, 2025.
