SARAH NETBURN, United States Magistrate Judge: On March 5, 2021, the plaintiff filed this action pursuant to

(g), seeking review of a denial of social security benefits. On November 30, 2021, the Honorable Ronnie Abrams approved a stipulation and agreement by the parties remanding the matter for further review by the Commissioner of Social Security. ECF No. 22. On January 4, 2024, the plaintiff filed a motion for an award of attorney’s fees pursuant to

(b)(1)(A). ECF No.26. Because of the Commissioner’s unique role and expertise in this area, the Court orders the Commissioner to respond to the plaintiff's motion by January 19, 2024. In particular, the Court directs the Commissioner to address the question of whether the fees amount to an impermissible windfall. See Diberardino v.
