Maximum Dollar Limit in the Fee
Agreement Process

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Marg Handel, Office of Income Security
Programs, phone (410) 965–4639, email: marg.handel@ssa.gov.
The Social
Security Act (Act) provides a
streamlined process for a representative
to obtain approval of the fee he or she
wishes to charge for representing a
claimant before the agency. See,
§§ 206(a)(2)(A) and 1631(d)(2)(A) of the
Act, as amended by the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of
1990, Public Law No. 101–508, § 5106.
To use that process, the representative
and the claimant must agree, in writing,
to a fee that does not exceed the lesser
of 25% of past due benefits or a
prescribed dollar amount. OBRA of
1990 set the initial fee amount at $4,000
and gave the Commissioner the
authority to increase it periodically,
provided that the cumulative rate of
increase did not at any time exceed the
rate of increase in primary insurance
amounts since January 1, 1991. The law
further provided that notice of any
increased amount shall be published in
the Federal Register. On January 17,
2002, we published a notice raising the
maximum fee to $5,300. With this
notice, we announce that the maximum
dollar amount for fee agreements will
increase to $6,000. This increase does
not exceed the rate of increase provided
in OBRA of 1990. We believe this
increase will adequately compensate
representatives for their services while
ensuring that claimants are protected
from excessive fees. A decision-maker
may approve fees up to the new amount
effective June 22, 2009. This effective
date will ensure adequate time to
provide training and guidance to our
employees and to make necessary
changes in our information technology
infrastructure.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Dated: January 29, 2009.
Michael J. Astrue,
Commissioner of Social Security.
