Social Security has released updated numbers on payments of fees to attorneys and others for representing Social Security claimants. These payments come out of the past due benefits of the claimants involved. A portion of the fees is withheld as a user fee to reimburse Social Security for the paperwork involved. Generally, the attorney is paid at the same time as the claimant involved. These numbers give some idea of how quickly or slowly that Social Security is able to pay claimants after a favorable decision.
