ORDER
JEROME T. KEARNEY, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff filed this motion for attorney's fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA"), 28 U.S.C. § 2412. (Doc. No. 18.) In his motion, Plaintiff requests $3,375.05 in fees and expenses. The Commissioner has no objection. (Doc. No. 20.) After careful consideration, the Plaintiff's motion is granted.
EAJA fees are payable to Plaintiff, not Plaintiff's attorney, and such fees are subject to an offset when Plaintiff has outstanding federal debts. See Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010). Therefore, subject to any offset, payment by check to the order of Plaintiff, in care of his attorney, will issue to Plaintiff's attorney.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for attorney's fees (Doc. No. 18) is granted. Plaintiff is awarded $3,375.05.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
