Before me is Plaintiff's Petition for Attorney's Fees (Doc. 26). Plaintiff is awarded $1,712.50 in attorneys' fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act, which shall be distributed in accordance with Astrue v. Ratliff, 130 S.Ct. 2521 (2010).

After the offset, Defendant shall request that the Department of Treasury award Plaintiff any remaining amount beyond what is owed. If no debt is owed to the United States and the assignment of the EAJA fees is valid, Defendant will request that the Department of Treasury make the EAJA fees payable to the assignee.
