Any fees paid belong to Plaintiff and not her attorney, and said fees can be offset to satisfy pre-existing debt that Plaintiff owes the United States under Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010). After the Court enters this EAJA award, 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 Plaintiff’s attorney pursuant to an EAJA assignment duly signed by Plaintiff and her counsel.
