By requesting the court to proceed in forma pauperis, plaintiff is asking the government to incur the filing fee because she allegedly is unable to afford the costs necessary to proceed with her cause of action. In her application, plaintiff states she is receiving "monthly disability" from Hartford Insurance due to permanent disability. Plaintiff, however, has failed to state the amount of money she continues to and has received from that source during the past twelve months as required by that form. Accordingly, the Court hereby finds and ORDERS as follows: This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff's filing of an application to proceed in forma pauperis and a complaint to review and set aside a decision of the Social Security Administration under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). To file a complaint and initiate legal proceedings plaintiff must pay a filing fee of $350.00 or file a proper application to proceed in forma v. MICHAEL J.
