CHARLES SASHER, Plaintiff-Appellant
v.
SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, Defendant-Appellee.
85-5786
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
12/13/85
ORDER
BEFORE: ENGEL, KENNEDY and MILBURN, Circuit Judges.
This matter is before the Court on the motion of the appellee, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to remand for reconsideration pursuant to the new mental impairment regulations. 50 Fed. Reg. 35066 (1985) (to be codified in 20 C.F.R. 404, Subpart P, Appendix 1. The appellant has responded in opposition thereto.
The appellant, Charles Sasher, is appealing the district court order dated June 12, 1985, denying his request for supplemental security income benefits based on disability under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1381a. The appellant filed a notice of appeal with the district court on August 1, 1985.
Section 5(c)(1) of the Social Security Disability Benefits Reform Act of 1984, Pub. L. No. 98-460, requires the Secretary to reexamine any case receiving a final administrative decision after October 9, 1984, in which a denial of disability benefits based on alleged mental impairment was made. The Appeals Council of the Social Security Administration affirmed the decision of the Administrative Law Judge denying benefits on October 11, 1984. The language of Pub. L. No. 98-460, Section 5(c)(1) is mandatory and the case must therefore be remanded.
Accordingly, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 405(g) it is ORDERED that the judgment of the district court is vacated and the cause is remanded to the district court for further remand to the Secretary of Health and Human Services for readjudication according to the new regulations promulgated pursuant to Pub. L. No. 98-460.
