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 SIX THOUSAND FIVE 

HUNDRED dollars and ZERO cents ($6,500.00). 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 payment of 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 and expenses is entered, the government will determine if they are subject to an offset. If 

it is determined that Plaintiff’s EAJA fees and expenses 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 

made payable to Plaintiff or Jacqueline A. Forslund, such checks shall be mailed to Plaintiff’s 

attorney at the following address: Jacqueline A. Forslund, Forslund Law LLC, P.O. Box 4476, 

Sunriver, Oregon 97707. This stipulation constitutes a compromise settlement of Plaintiff’s request 

for EAJA attorney fees, and does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of Defendant 

under the EAJA or otherwise. Payment of the agreed amount shall constitute a complete release from, 

and bar to, any and all claims that Plaintiff and/or Plaintiff’s Counsel may have relating to EAJA 

attorney fees in connection with this action.
