Following a hearing on Plaintiff’s application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income, an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) found that Plaintiff was not disabled. The decision of the ALJ became the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security, and Plaintiff sought judicial review of the adverse ruling. The Commissioner now states that upon remand by the Court, the Appeals Council of the Social Security Administration will remand the case to the ALJ who will update the medical record, provide Plaintiff with the opportunity for a new hearing, fully evaluate the severity of Plaintiff’s impairments, and proceed as necessary with the sequential evaluation process. Plaintiff’s counsel has represented to the Court that Plaintiff does not oppose the Commissioner’s motion. Dockets.Justia.com Sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) provides that upon judicial review, “[t]he court shall have power to enter, upon the pleadings and transcript of the record, a judgment affirming, modifying, or reversing the decision of the Commissioner of Social Security, with or without remanding the cause for a rehearing.” The Court concludes that the Commissioner’s motion should be granted in this case. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s motion to reverse and remand the case pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) is GRANTED.
