MEMORANDUM **

We grant Nancy Nunez’s motion to remand under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).

On March 2, 2012, an administrative law judge (ALJ) denied Nunez’s claim for disability benefits. While Nunez’s appeal from that decision was pending in this court, a different ALJ granted Nunez’s second application for benefits. This second application alleged a disability 'onset date- of March 3, 2012, the day after Nunez’s first application was denied.

The two proceedings had different outcomes because of conflicting vocational expert testimony. In the first proceeding, the vocational expert testified that Nunez’s past work as a registered nurse required transferrable skills such as recordkeeping, organizational skills, and computer skills. That expert concluded that Nunez could work as an appointment clerk, an occupation with a substantial number of positions in the national economy. In the second proceeding, a different vocational expert testified that Nunez had nursing skills and patient care skills. That expert found that, as a result, Nunez could work only as a cardiac monitor technician, a job with few positions in the national economy. Relying on the testimony of their respective vocational experts, the two ALJs reached opposite conclusions about whether Nunez was eligible for disability benefits.

Remand is appropriate under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) when the onset date of a succéssful application closely follows a denial of benefits, and when the initial denial and subsequent award are not easily reconcilable on the record before the court. See Luna v. Astrue, 623 F.3d 1032, 1035 (9th Cir. 2010). Nunez’s first application was denied only one day before the onset date of her second application, and we cannot easily reconcile the inconsistent testimony from the vocational experts on the record before us. Therefore, “further consideration of the factual issues is appropriate” to determine whether Nunez’s first application should have been granted. Id.

We remand to the district court with instructions to remand to the Commissioner for further proceedings. We do not reach any of the other issues raised in this appeal.

VACATED AND REMANDED.
