How much will I have to pay?

The amount of the fee the SSA decides your representative may charge is the most you owe for his or her services even if you agreed to pay your representative more.  However, your representative can charge you for out-of-pocket expenses, such as medical report, with out your approval.  These expenses are not paid to your attorney by the SSA or deducted from your reward.

If an attorney or non-attorney whom Social Security has found eligible for direct payment represents you the SSA usually withholds 25% ( but never more) of your past-due benefits to pay towards the fee.  The SSA pays all or part of the representative’s fee from this money and send you any money left over.

Sometimes you must pay your representative directly:
*your representative is not eligible for direct payment;
*the SSA did not withhold 25% from your past-due Social Security or Supplemental   Security Income Benefits, or both; or
*Your representative made a timely request for a fee and the SSA sent you   the money that the SSA should have withheld.

You must pay for out-of-pocket expenses your representative incurs or expect(s) to incur (For example, the cost of getting your doctor’s or hospital records, etc.)  The Law Offices of Mike Murburg P.A. will advance we and pay these reasonable costs in advance for you.  We ask for reimbursement only if you win.
