To amend title II of the Social Security Act to provide for an increase in the maximum level of fees authorized to be charged by representatives with respect to claims of entitlement to past-due benefits and to require cost-of-living adjustments to such level of authorized fees.

H.R. 7285 would increase the maximum fee that attorneys or authorized representatives can charge for helping individuals successfully claim past-due Social Security benefits. The bill also requires that this fee limit be adjusted annually for inflation to ensure it keeps pace with the cost of living. For citizens, this change would likely increase the amount paid to legal representatives from their back-pay awards while potentially improving access to professional assistance for navigating complex benefit claims.
