Public Fee Schedule (PFS) for Claimants - Title II Claims

Under the SSA, claimants who represent themselves in their claims, including those with disabilities or blindness, may be eligible to receive a fee payment. This article will explain the Public Fee Schedule (PFS) and how it affects Title II claims.

What is the Public Fee Schedule (PFS)?

The PFS is a fee schedule that sets the amounts by which claimants in Title II cases may be paid for their work as representatives, including attorneys and non-lawyers. The PFS is designed to promote fair compensation for these individuals and to reduce costs associated with representation.

Who is eligible for the Public Fee Schedule (PFS)?

The SSA's eligibility criteria for receiving a fee payment under the PFS include:

The PFS rates are based on the Social Security Administration's cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs). Claimants will receive an annual COLA increase that is equal to 2% of their earnings from the previous year plus a percentage increase in the average hourly wage for each level of work experience.

How to Apply for the Public Fee Schedule (PFS)

To apply for the PFS, claimants must submit an application to their local SSA office by mail or in person. The application should include:

What happens after the Public Fee Schedule (PFS) is approved?

If the claimant receives a fee payment under the PFS, they will receive two checks from the SSA: one check for the amount received and another check for the attorney's fees. The claims representative can also use this money to pay taxes on their earnings or for other expenses related to their work as an attorney.

Conclusion

The Public Fee Schedule (PFS) is an important tool that helps claimants in Title II cases receive fair compensation for their work as representatives. Claimants who are eligible for the PFS will need to understand the eligibility criteria and application process before applying for a fee payment.
