Attorney Fee Payments

Social Security has released the following figures on payments of fees to attorneys and others for representing Social Security claimants:

Fee Payments
Month/Year	Volume	Amount
Jan-10	32,227	$111,440,046.23

I have some concerns that the numbers that Social Security is giving out are misleading. Every attorney that I have talked with about the 1099s they recently received from Social Security reports that their 1099 was way low. The aggregate stats that Social Security is releasing may be similarly flawed.
