No. Unfortunately, this wouldn’t qualify you as a fee-basis employee.
A fee-based public official is a person who receives and retains remuneration directly from the public.
Someone who receives payment for services from government funds isn't a fee-based public official, even if the compensation is referred to as a fee.
Please see Social Security's Fee-Based Public Officials page for more information.
