Social Security Administration (SSA). If 

the claimant is entitled to past-due 

benefits and was represented either by 

an attorney or by a non-attorney 

representative who has met certain 

prerequisites, the Act provides that we 

may withhold up to 25 percent of the 

past-due benefits and use that money to 

pay the representative’s approved fee 

directly to the representative. 

When we pay the representative’s fee 

directly to the representative, we must 

collect from that fee payment an 

assessment to recover the costs we incur 

in determining and paying 

representatives’ fees. The Act provides 

that the assessment we collect will be 

the lesser of two amounts: A specified 

dollar limit; or the amount determined 

by multiplying the fee we are paying by 

the assessment percentage rate.1

The Act initially set the dollar limit 

at $75 in 2004 and provides that the 

limit will be adjusted annually based on 

changes in the cost-of-living.2 The 

maximum dollar limit for the 

assessment currently is $95, as we 

announced in the Federal Register on 

October 24, 2018 (83 FR 53702). 

The Act requires us each year to set 

the assessment percentage rate at the 

lesser of 6.3 percent or the percentage 

rate necessary to achieve full recovery of 

the costs we incur to determine and pay 

representatives’ fees.3

Based on the best available data, we 

have determined that the current rate of 

6.3 percent will continue for 2019. We 

will continue to review our costs for 

these services on a yearly basis.
