STIPULATION FOR VOLUNTARY REMAND PURSUANT TO SENTENCE FOUR OF 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) AND ORDER

JENNIFER A. DORSEY, District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through their undersigned attorneys, and with the approval of the Court, that the Commissioner of Social Security has agreed to a voluntary remand of this case pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). The purpose of the remand is to offer Plaintiff a new hearing and decision.

Upon remand to the defendant, the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review will remand this case to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) with instructions to convene another administrative hearing and reconsider whether Plaintiff remained capable of performing her past relevant work, or, in the alternative, other work that exists in significant numbers within the national economy. The ALJ will vacate the previous decision, take any further action deemed necessary to develop the record, reassess Plaintiff's RFC, and issue a new decision.
