The parties further agree that this award of attorney fees will fully satisfy any and all Plaintiff s claims for fees, costs, and expenses under 28 U.S.C. § 2412 that may be payable in this case. In addition, the parties agree that any fees paid belong to Plaintiff and can be offset to satisfy any pre-existing debt that Plaintiff owes the United States, pursuant to the decision in Astrue v.
