STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER

PURSUANT TO THE EQUAL ACCESS TO 

JUSTICE ACT, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d) 

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

subject to the approval of the Court, that Plaintiff be awarded attorney fees and expenses under the 

EAJA in the amount of THREE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN dollars and 

SEVENTY-EIGHT cents ($3,147.78). This amount represents compensation for all legal services 

rendered on behalf of Plaintiff, to date, by counsel in connection with this civil action, in accordance

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. 

Pursuant to Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010), the ability to honor the assignment will depend on 

whether the fees, expenses are subject to any offset allowed under the United States Department of 

the Treasury’s Offset Program. After the order for EAJA fees and expenses is entered, the 

government will determine whether they are subject to any offset. 

Fees and expenses shall be made payable to Plaintiff, but if the Department of the Treasury 

determines that Plaintiff does not owe a federal debt, then the government shall cause the payment of 

fees to be made directly to Jesse Kaplan, pursuant to the assignment executed by Plaintiff. Any 

payments made shall be delivered to Plaintiff’s counsel. 

This stipulation constitutes a compromise settlement of Plaintiff's request for EAJA attorney 

fees and expenses, and does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of Defendant under 

the EAJA. 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 and 

expenses in connection with this action. 

This award is without prejudice to the rights of Plaintiff’s counsel to seek Social Security Act 

attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406, subject to the offset provisions of the EAJA. 

Respectfully submitted December 17, 2016.
