IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties through their undersigned counsel, 

subject to the approval of the Court, that Plaintiff shall be awarded attorney’s fees under the Equal 

Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. sec. 2412(d), in the amount of FOUR THOUSAND NINE 

HUNDRED AND FIFTY dollars and ZERO cents ($4,950.00). This amount represents 

compensation for all legal services rendered on behalf of Plaintiff by counsel in connection with this 

civil action, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. sec. 2412(d).

After the Court issues an order for EAJA fees and expenses to Plaintiff, the government will 

consider the matter of Plaintiff’s assignment of EAJA fees and expenses to Plaintiff’s attorney. The 

government’s ability to honor the assignment will depend on whether the fees and expenses are 

subject to an offset allowed under the United States Department of the Treasury’s Offset Program 

pursuant to Astrue v. Ratcliff, 130 S.Ct. 2521 (2010). After the order of EAJA fees is entered, the 

government will determine if they are subject to an offset. 

If it is determined that Plaintiff’s EAJA fees are not subject to an offset under Astrue v. 

Ratcliff, 130 S.Ct. 2521 (2010) and The Department of Treasury’s Offset Program, then the check for 

EAJA fees and expenses shall be made payable to Jacqueline A. Forslund, based upon Plaintiff’s 

assignment of these amounts to Plaintiff’s attorney. The parties agree that whether these checks are
