that Plaintiff be awarded attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 USC 

2412(d), in the amount of FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($5,000). This amount represents

After the Court issues an order for EAJA fees to Plaintiff, the government will consider 

the matter of Plaintiff’s assignment of EAJA fees to counsel. Pursuant to Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 

U.S. 586, 598, 130 S.Ct. 2521, 177 L.Ed.2d 91 (2010), the ability to honor the assignment will 

depend on whether the fees are subject to any offset allowed under the United States Department 

of the Treasury’s Offset Program. After the order for EAJA fees is entered, the government will 

determine whether they are subject to any offset.

Fees 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, 

expenses and costs to be made directly to counsel, pursuant to the assignment executed by 

Plaintiff. Any payments made shall be delivered to counsel.

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

and does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of Defendant under the EAJA. 

Payment of FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($5,000) in EAJA attorney fees shall constitute a 

complete release from, and bar to, any and all claims that Plaintiff LINDA KING and Plaintiff’s 

attorney, Barbara Mann, may have relating to EAJA attorney fees in connection with this action. 

This award is without prejudice to the rights of Plaintiff’s attorney, Barbara Mann, to 

seek Social Security Act attorney fees under 42 USC 406(b), subject to the savings clause 

provision of the EAJA. 

Respectfully submitted,
