Updated Fee Payment Numbers

     Below are the 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. A fee is paid at about the same time as the back benefits are paid to a claimant who has been approved so this is an indication of how fast or slow that Social Security is processing claimants onto benefits after approval.
