ORDER
Currently pending before this Court is defendant's Motion to Remand (Doc. # 11).
Agency counsel states that after review of the above referenced case, agency counsel requested the Appeals Council to reconsider the Commissioner's decision. Upon review, the Appeals Council determined that remand was appropriate. Agency counsel states that upon remand the Appeals Council will remand this case to the ALJ in order to reevaluate Plaintiff's residual functional capacity to account for the finding that Plaintiff is moderately limited in social functioning. Specifically, the ALJ will be directed to update the record and offer the Plaintiff the opportunity for a hearing. The ALJ will also obtain vocational expert testimony in order to properly determine if Plaintiff can perform other work.
Therefore, this Court hereby ORDERS that the Administrative Law Judge's decision is REVERSED and this case is REMANDED to the Commissioner pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
