This matter comes before the Court on the parties’ stipulated motion for attorney fees
(Dkt. No. 22). The motion is GRANTED. Based upon the stipulation of the parties, it is hereby
ORDERED that attorney fees in the amount of $2,601.18 shall be awarded to Plaintiff pursuant
to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412. The parties agree that attorney fees will be
paid to Plaintiff’s attorney, dependent upon verification that Plaintiff has no debt which qualifies
for offset against the awarded fees, pursuant to the Treasury Offset Program as discussed in
Astrue v. Ratliff, 130 S. Ct. 2521 (2010). Attorney fees are paid pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1920.
If Plaintiff has no such debt, then the check shall be made out to Plaintiff’s attorney and
mailed to Plaintiff’s attorney’s office as follows: Kevin Kerr, P.O. Box 14490, Portland, OR
97293. If Plaintiff has a debt, then the check for any remaining funds after offset of the debt
shall be made to Plaintiff and mailed to Plaintiff’s attorney’s office at the address stated above.
