The Social Security Administration has posted updated numbers on payments of fees to attorneys and others for representing Social Security claimants. These fees come out of the back benefits of the claimants involved. Social Security is merely the conduit. These payments are a great analogue for how quickly or slowly the agency is getting benefits paid to claimants after a favorable decision on their claims.

The increase in June could reflect nothing more than the month of June was a 5 week month and most months are 4 week months for statistics.
