ORDER

Counsel for plaintiff Elizabeth Faye Adcock (“Adcock”) has filed an unopposed motion for attorney’s fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”),

28 U.S.C. § 2412

. Doc.No.13. This pleading indicates the parties have agreed to an award of EAJA fees and expenses in the amount of 7,650.00.

The motion is GRANTED, and an EAJA award in the amount of $7,650.00 is approved. There is nothing unreasonable about the hours of work performed or the hourly rate requested. Because the award belongs to Adcock, and not her attorney,

as set forth in Astrue v. Ratliff,

(2010), the Department of Treasury shall issue payment of this award by check made payable to Adcock, in care of her attorney, Karl E. Osterhout, and shall mail the check to Mr. Osterhout at his Oakmont, 1 Pennsylvania address. IT IS SO ORDERED this 13" day of September, 2023.
