DOUGLAS A. SCHOCH Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
Dlott, C.J.
Bowman, M.J.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
For good cause shown, the undersigned RECOMMENDS that the parties' joint request for a sentence four remand (Doc. 13) be GRANTED and this case be TERMINATED UPON THE DOCKET by entry of judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58.
The undersigned FURTHER RECOMMENDS that, pursuant to the parties' joint request, upon remand, the administrative law judge will re-evaluate all medical source opinion evidence in assessing Plaintiff's residual functional capacity. If warranted, the administrative law judge will consider medical expert opinion from a mental health professional, to clarify the severity of any mental impairment and limitations. The administrative law judge will also obtain supplemental vocational expert evidence to clarify what effect all assessed limitations have on Plaintiff's occupational base and whether Plaintiff can perform other jobs that exist in the national economy. Plaintiff will also have the opportunity to submit additional medical evidence.
