How do we review a grant of judgment on the pleadings?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Harrington v. Saul, No. 20-559 (2nd Cir. 2020):

We review de novo a district court's grant of judgment on the pleadings. Jasinski v. Barnhart, 341 F.3d 182, 184 (2d Cir. 2003). When the judgment upholds a benefits determination made by the Commissioner, we conduct a de novo review of the administrative record "to determine whether there is substantial evidence supporting the Commissioner's decision and whether the Commissioner applied the correct legal standard."
