will remand the matter to an administrative law judge (ALJ) for further administrative
proceedings on Plaintiff’s application for disability insurance benefits, including a de novo
hearing and a new decision. Upon remand, the agency will direct the ALJ to: (1) further evaluate
the medical opinions of record, explaining the reasons for the weight given to these opinions;
(2) further evaluate Plaintiff’s credibility; (3) if necessary, further evaluate Plaintiff’s residual
functional capacity; and (4) if warranted by the expanded record, obtain supplemental evidence
from a vocational expert at step five of the sequential evaluation process.
Further, the Clerk will enter a judgment in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 58, consistent
with the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Shalala v. Shaefer, 509 U.S. 292, 296-302
(1993).
