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 and 

expenses under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. sec. 2412(d), in the amount 

of SEVEN THOUSAND dollars and ZERO cents ($7,000.00). 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 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
