Fee Payments Increase In August

Payments of fees to attorneys and others for representation of Social Security claimants climbed to over $100 million in August, according to figures released by Social Security. This was a 29% increase over July. I believe this is the first time that more than $100 million has been paid in one month. Here are the figures for the entire year of 2007 so far.

  1. I'm guessing that a factor in that is the large number of informal remand approvals that began coming from DDS's in july and august.
