What do I do about a fee agreement?

If retained we will file all the necessary paperwork for you.  If you and your attorney/representative have a written fee agreement, your representative may ask the SSA to approve it any time before SSA decides your claim.  Usually, the SSA will approve the agreement and tell you in writing how much your representative may charge as long as:
* You both signed the agreement;
* Your claim was approved and resulted in past due benefits; and
* The fee you agreed on is no more than 25% of past-due benefits or $6264.50, whichever is less.

If the SSA does not approve the fee agreement, the SSA will notify you and your representative in writing that your representative must file a fee petition.
