STIPULATION TO VOLUNTARY 

REMAND PURSUANT TO SENTENCE 

FOUR OF 42 U.S.C. 405(g) AND TO ENTRY 

OF JUDGMENT; [PROPOSED] ORDER 

THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE, through their undersigned attorneys and with the 

approval of the Court, that Defendant has agreed to a voluntary remand of this case pursuant to 

sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). The purpose of the remand is to offer Plaintiff a new hearing and 

decision. 

Upon remand, the Appeals Council will remand this case to an Administrative Law Judge 

(ALJ) and direct him or her to hold a new hearing and issue a new decision. The ALJ will not disturb 

the favorable finding of disability from August 24, 2010 through August 24, 2011. For the 

subsequent period, the Appeals Council will instruct the ALJ to re-evaluate Plaintiff’s residual 

functional capacity and, if appropriate, determine when medical improvement has been established.

If the ALJ finds a closed period of disability, he or she will apply the eight-step medical improvement 

evaluation. Finally, the ALJ will take any other actions he or she deems necessary to make a 

decision. 

As noted, this stipulation constitutes a remand under the fourth sentence of Section 205(g) of 

the Social Security Act. 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
