The Social Security
Administration (SSA) is announcing the
assessment percentage rate under the
Social Security Act (Act) is 6.3 percent
for 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mona B. Ahmed, Associate General
Counsel for Program Law, Office of the
General Counsel, Social Security

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A
claimant may appoint a qualified
individual as a representative to act on
their behalf in matters before the 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
shall 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 $117, as we announced in
the Federal Register on October 23,
2023 (88 FR 72803).
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 Based on the best
available data, we have determined that
the current rate of 6.3 percent will
continue for 2024. We will continue to
review our costs for these services on a
yearly basis.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice: 12288]
Designation of Mohamed Ali Nkalubo
and Ahmed Mahamud Hassan Aliyani
as Specially Designated Global
Terrorists
Acting under the authority of and in
accordance with section 1(a)(ii)(B) of
Executive Order 13224, as amended
(‘‘E.O. 13224’’ or ‘‘Order’’), I hereby
determine that the persons known as
Mohamed Ali Nkalubo (also known as
Meddie Nkalubo and Meddie Lee) and
Ahmed Mahamud Hassan Aliyani (also
known as Ahmed Mahmoud Hassan and
Ahmad Mahmoud Hassan) are leaders of
ISIS–DRC, an entity whose property and
interests in property are currently
blocked pursuant to a determination by
the Secretary of State pursuant to E.O.
13224.
Consistent with the determination in
section 10 of E.O. 13224 that prior
notice to persons determined to be
subject to the Order who might have a
constitutional presence in the United
States would render ineffectual the
blocking and other measures authorized
in the Order because of the ability to
transfer funds instantaneously, I
determine that no prior notice needs to
be provided to any person subject to this
determination who might have a
constitutional presence in the United
States, because to do so would render
ineffectual the measures authorized in
the Order.
This notice shall be published in the
Federal Register.
Dated: December 6, 2023.
Antony J. Blinken,
Secretary of State.
