Jones v. Taylor, No. 09-5192 (D.C. Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseAppellant filed suit in the district court when the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA) denied his application for disability benefits. At issue was whether the district court had authority to permit additional evidence to be taken on remand where the SSA asked the district court to remand the case so the agency could supplement the record and the district court obliged. The court held that because the district court misunderstood the full reach of its remedial authority, the court vacated the judgment and remanded the matter to the district court to consider the issue anew.
