Before the Court is the Commissioner’s Unopposed Motion for Remand.1 (Doc. 20.) The Commissioner believes that remand is appropriate to accomplish the following: On remand, the Commissioner will apply the sequential evaluation process for age 18 redeterminations which are the rules for adults (individuals age 18 or older) who file new applications explained in 20 C.F.R. § 416.920(c)-(h); further evaluate the prior administrative medical findings and opinion evidence; further consider the residual functional capacity; offer Plaintiff the opportunity for a hearing; take any further action needed to complete the administrative record; and issue a new decision.
