Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the Court awards Plaintiff attorney fees in the amount of $8,100 in full satisfaction and settlement of any and all claims Plaintiff
may have under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA) in this case. The award of attorney fees will satisfy all of Plaintiff's claims for fees, costs, and expenses under
28 U.S.C. § 2412in this case. Any fees paid belong to Plaintiff and not her attorney and can be offset to satisfy pre-existing debt that the litigant owes the United States under Astrue

130 S. Ct. 2521(2010). If counsel for the parties can verify that Plaintiff owes
no pre-existing debt subject to offset, Defendant agrees to direct that the award be made payable to Plaintiffs attorney pursuant to the EAJA assignment duly signed by Plaintiff and counsel.
