[QUOTE="witzend, post: 352884, member: 99"] nvts - I see what you are saying - max fee. Yes, that is right. But, if your benefit is only say, $1,000 a month and you're owed 3 months, 30% is only about $1,000. Generally, they only apply for you yourself, not for your kids. Once you get the benefits, SSA asks you about your kids. Then that benefit comes, so it's not part of the first check that the attorney gets a portion of. So, it's to the benefit of the attorney to not drag it out because his fee is limited to the max of $2,500. [/QUOTE]
