STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR THE 

AWARD OF ATTORNEY FEES 

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 under the Equal 

Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), in the amount of FIVE THOUSAND TWO 

HUNDRED DOLLARS ($5,200.00). 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. §§ 1920, 2412(d).

Upon the Court’s issuance of an order granting EAJA fees to plaintiff, the government will 

determine the issue of plaintiff’s assignment of EAJA fees to plaintiff’s attorney. Pursuant to Astrue 

v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586, 597-598 (2010), the ability to honor the assignment will depend on if the 

fees are subject to any offset allowed under the United States Department of the Treasury’s Offset 

Program. 

If the Department of the Treasury determines that plaintiff does not owe a federal debt, then 

the government will cause the payment of fees to be made directly to plaintiff’s attorney, LAW 

OFFICE OF JARED T. WALKER, P.C., pursuant to the assignment executed by plaintiff. Any

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR 

AWARD OF EAJA ATTORNEYS’ FEES

payments made will be delivered to JARED T. WALKER. 

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. 

Payment of the agreed amount will 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. 

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

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