ORDER
THE HONORABLE MICHAEL H. SIMON, U.S. DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
It is ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for an attorney fee in the amount of $8,800.00, is hereby granted. The parties have stipulated to the motion and fee and Plaintiff is entitled to the fee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2412. It is further ordered that the fee will be paid directly to Plaintiff's attorney, dependent upon verification that Plaintiff has no debt which qualifies for offset against the awarded fees, pursuant to the Treasury Offset Program as discussed in Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010). If Plaintiff has no such debt then it is ordered that the check shall be made payable to Plaintiff's attorney, Bruce Brewer, and mailed to his office at PO Box 421, West Linn, OR 97068. If Plaintiff has such debt then the check for any remaining funds after offset of the debt shall be made payable to Plaintiff and mailed to Plaintiff's attorney's office at the address stated above. There are no costs or expenses to be paid herein.
