Case Summary
**Case Summary: Jenny Rocha v. Carolyn Colvin**
**Docket Number:** 3020032
**Court:** United States District Court
**Date:** [Insert Relevant Date]
**Background:**
The case of Jenny Rocha v. Carolyn Colvin concerns an appeal regarding the denial of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. The plaintiff, Jenny Rocha, contested the decision made by Carolyn Colvin, the Acting Commissioner of Social Security, who ruled that Rocha did not meet the criteria for disability as defined by the Social Security Administration.
**Facts:**
1. Jenny Rocha filed for SSDI benefits, alleging that she was unable to work due to severe physical and mental health conditions.
2. The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) evaluated Rocha's claim, including medical records, testimonies, and her work history.
3. The ALJ concluded that while Rocha suffered from medical impairments, she retained the ability to perform work that existed in significant numbers in the national economy and therefore was not disabled under the Social Security Act.
**Issues:**
The central issue on appeal was whether the ALJ's decision was supported by substantial evidence and whether proper legal standards were applied in assessing Rocha's disability claim.
**Arguments:**
- **Appellant (Jenny Rocha):** Rocha argued that the ALJ miscalculated her residual functional capacity (RFC) and inadequately considered the severity of her impairments. She claimed that the ALJ failed to properly weigh all medical evidence and disregarded testimonies from her treating physicians that supported her claims of disability.
- **Appellee (Carolyn Colvin):** In defense of the decision, Colvin contended that the ALJ followed the correct framework in evaluating Rocha's RFC and that the determination was based on established medical evidence. Colvin maintained that the ALJ appropriately considered all testimonies and evidence presented.
**Decision:**

**Conclusion:**
The case of Jenny Rocha v. Carolyn Colvin underscores the complexities involved in SSDI benefit claims and the importance of a thorough evaluation of medical evidence and personal impact of impairments. The outcome has implications for the assessment of disability claims and the standard of evidence that must be met by claimants seeking benefits.
