 Upon the Court’s order, defendant will consider the assignment of those EAJA fees 

pursuant to Astrue v. Ratliff, 130 S.Ct. 2521, 2252-2253 (2010), considering any offsets allowed 

under the United States Department of Treasury’s Offset Program. Fees shall be made payable to 

plaintiff, but if the Treasury Department determines plaintiff owes no federal debt, then the 

government shall pay the fees directly to Jesse S. Kaplan based on an assignment executed by 

plaintiff and will deliver the payment to said counsel. 

 This stipulation constitutes a compromise settlement of plaintiff’s request for EAJA fees 

and not an admission of liability of defendant under the EAJA. Payment of this agreed amount 

shall constitute a complete release and bar of plaintiff and her counsel regarding EAJA fees 

relating to this action. This award is without prejudice to plaintiff’s counsel’s right to fees under 

42 U.S.C. §406(b), subject to the savings clause provisions of the EAJA.
