Social Security has released updated numbers on payments of fees to attorneys and some others for representing claimants before the agency. These fees are withheld from the past due benefits of the claimants involved. The attorneys involved pay a user fee for this service. The fees are paid at about the same time as the claimant is paid. These numbers give some indication of how quickly or slowly that the agency is able to process claimants onto benefits after they are approved.
