SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Claimants
may appoint a qualified individual as a
representative to act on their behalf in
matters before the Social Security
Administration (SSA). If the claimant is
entitled to past-due benefits and was
represented either by an attorney or by
a non-attorney representative who has
met certain prerequisites, the Act
provides that we may withhold up to 25
percent of the past-due benefits and use
that money to pay the representative’s
approved fee directly to the
representative.
When we pay the representative’s
approved fee directly to the
representative, we must collect from
that fee payment an assessment to
recover the costs we incur in
determining and paying representatives’
fees. The Act provides that the
assessment we collect will be the lesser
of two amounts: a specified dollar limit;
or the amount determined by
multiplying the fee we are paying by the
assessment percentage rate.1
The Act initially set the dollar limit
at $75 in 2004 and provides that the
limit will be adjusted annually based on
changes in the cost-of-living.2 Currently,
the maximum dollar limit for the
assessment is $113, as we announced in
the Federal Register on October 24,
2022 (87 FR 64296).
The Act requires us, each year, to set
the assessment percentage rate at the
lesser of 6.3 percent or the percentage
rate necessary to achieve full recovery of
the costs we incur to determine and pay
representatives’ fees.3
