ORDER GRANTING EAJA FEES
MARK D. CLARKE, United States Magistrate Judge
Based on the stipulation of the parties and Plaintiffs application, it is ORDERED that attorney fees in the amount of $10,736.99 are awarded to Plaintiff under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412. The parties agree that Plaintiff has assigned the EAJA attorney fees to Plaintiffs attorney. The attorney fees shall be paid to Plaintiffs attorney, subject to verification that Plaintiff does not have a debt which qualifies for offset against the EAJA fees under the Treasury Offset Program, as discussed in Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010). If Plaintiff has no such debt, then the check shall be made payable to Plaintiff's attorney, Laurie B. Mapes. If Plaintiff has such a debt, then the check for any remaining funds after offset of the debt shall be made payable to Plaintiff. The check, regardless of the named payee, shall be mailed to Plaintiffs attorney, Laurie B. Mapes, at P.O. Box 1241, Scappoose, Oregon, 97056.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
