Before the Court is Plaintiff's "Joint Stipulation to Award Attorney Fees and Costs Under the Equal Access to Justice Act." Doc. 25.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED GRANTING Plaintiff's Stipulation. Defendant shall pay Plaintiff $7,502.72 in EAJA fees under 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d) and $402.00 in costs under 28 U.S.C. § 1920.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED ADVISING that if, after receiving the Court's EAJA fee order, the Defendant determines upon effectuation of the Court's EAJA fee order that Plaintiff does not owe a debt that is subject to offset under the Treasury Offset Program, the fees will be made payable to Plaintiff's attorney, Meghan McNamara Miller. However, if there is a debt owed that is subject to offset under the Treasury Offset Program, the remaining EAJA fees after offset will be paid by a check made out to Plaintiff but delivered to Plaintiff's attorney Meghan McNamara Miller.
