Mack v. Saul

1 Citing case

  1. Williams v. Kijakazi

    Civil Action 3:22-CV-01139 (M.D. Pa. Sep. 12, 2023)

    Given the routine reliance on VEs, as recognized in Zirsnak, the lack of any persuasive authority in support of Williams' argument, and the VE's testimony that his position is in accord with the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, the undersigned finds no basis for remand. See Mack v. Saul, No. CV 19-66, 2020 WL 709515, at *3 (W.D. Pa. Feb. 12, 2020) (“It is not the province of this Court to reform the methodology that SSA VEs use to determine available and appropriate jobs in the national economy that match a claimant's RFC.” (quoting Mariani v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., No. 1:18-CV-14747, 2019 WL 5418092, at *7 (D.N.J. Oct. 23, 2019)). In short, the undersigned finds that the Commissioner has carried the assigned burden at step five of the sequential evaluation and concludes that substantial evidence supports the ALJ's determination in this regard.
