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 THREE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN dollars and THIRTY ONE cents 

($7,317.31) and expenses in the amount of TWENTY dollars and NINETY ONE cents ($20.91). 

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

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 Dellert Baird Law 

Offices, PLLC, based upon Plaintiff’s assignment of these amounts to Plaintiff’s attorney, and 

the check for costs shall be made payable to Plaintiff. The parties agree that whether these

checks are made payable to Plaintiff or Dellert Baird Law Offices, PLLC, such checks shall be 

mailed to Plaintiff’s attorney at the following address: Dellert Baird Law Offices, PLLC, P.O.
