REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
KAREN L. LITKOVITZ, Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the Court on the parties' Joint Stipulation for an Award of Attorney Fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA"), 28 U.S.C. § 2412. (Doc. 15). The parties have stipulated and petitioned the Court to award attorney fees in the amount of $6,500.00 and costs in the amount of $400.00 in full satisfaction and settlement of any and all claims plaintiff may have under the EAJA in the above case. The parties have stipulated that the award will satisfy all of plaintiff's claims for fees, costs and expenses under 28 U.S.C. § 2412 in this case. The parties acknowledge that any fees and expenses paid belong to plaintiff and not her attorney and can be offset to satisfy any pre-existing debt that the litigant owes the United States under Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010).
IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED that the parties' joint stipulation for an award of attorney fees and expenses (Doc. 15) be GRANTED and that plaintiff be awarded attorney fees and costs in the amount of $6,900.00.
