consider the matter of Plaintiff’s assignment of EAJA fees and expenses to Plaintiff's

whether the EAJA fees and expenses are subject to any offset allowed under the Treasury

Offset Program. The Commissioner agrees to contact the Department of Treasury after the

8

order for EAJA fees and expenses is entered to determine whether the EAJA fees and

9

expenses are subject to any offset. If the EAJA fees and expenses are not subject to any

10

offset, the EAJA attorney’s fees and expenses will be paid directly to plaintiff’s attorney

11

Eitan Kassel Yanich, either by direct deposit or by check payable to him and mailed to his

12

address.
