Purplebill,
I'm glad you replied to this thread. I need to ask you if I was an idiot like I think I might have been. I was under the impression that I would only owe up to a max of 5 grand no matter what. But I signed a contract that I'm kind of wondering about now. They sent me a copy of the contract I signed after I got the fully favorable letter. Here's the paragraph verbatim.
"Upon the execution of this fee contract, I agree that it be made a part of a petition to obtain approval of a fee filed by (attorneys name) upon the successful conclusion of my case. I , therefore, authorize and request that the Social Security Administration pay directly to (attorneys name), from any back Social Security benefits due me and my dependents, if any, the sum of 25% of such back benefits, whether or not the total sum of 25% is over and above the approval limit of an Administrative Law Judge or other agency of the Social Security Administration. Should 25% of my back benefits amount to less than 1000.00 dollars, I agree to make arrangements to pay the difference to (attorneys name).
The part that worries me is the whether or not the total sum of 25% is over and above the approval limit of an Administrative Law Judge.... yada yada yada....
They sent me a letter advising me not to cash my back benefits until I had contacted them so they could make sure the amounts were correct. I'm afraid that means they want 25% if it is over the 5 grand. Boy, I guess I'm in for it.
God Bless,
Sherry
