SUMMARY:
Section
406 of Public Law No. 106–170, the
Ticket to Work and Work Incentives
Improvement Act of 1999, established
an assessment for the services required
to determine and certify payments to
attorneys from the benefits due
claimants under Title II of the Act. This
provision is codified in section 206 of
the Act (42 U.S.C. 406). That legislation
set the assessment for the calendar year
2000 at 6.3 percent of the amount that
would be required to be certified for
direct payment to the attorney under
section 206(a)(4) or 206(b)(1) before the
application of the assessment. For
subsequent years, the legislation
requires the Commissioner of Social
Security to determine the percentage
rate necessary to achieve full recovery of
the costs of determining and certifying
fees to attorneys, but not in excess of 6.3
percent. Beginning in 2005, sections 302
and 303 of Public Law 108–203, the
Social Security Protection Act of 2004
(SSPA), extended the direct payment of
fees to attorneys in cases under Title
XVI of the Act and to eligible nonattorney representatives in cases under
Title II and/or Title XVI of the Act. Fees
directly paid under these provisions are
subject to the same assessment. In
addition, sections 301 and 302 of the
SSPA imposed a dollar cap on the
amount of the assessment so that the
