Attorney User Fee To Remain At 6.3% In 2010

Attorneys and others who receive direct payment from the Social Security Administration of fees for representing claimants must pay a user fee. The user fee has been 6.3% for years but Social Security must determine on a yearly basis whether this percent should be reduced. Social Security will publish a notice in the Federal Register tomorrow saying that the user fee will stay at 6.3% in 2010.

BFD The percentage could be raised to 10000 percent and it wouldn't mean a thing as long as the fee is capped. What is now $78.00?

Poor babies have to pay a freaking $78.00 for a BA to process your fee and I thought fees were supposed to cover the expense to SSA.
