Approved. SSA is
working with a contractor to implement an "electronic disability
folder," and expect to have it running by 2005. SSA should keep OMB
appraised of the process prior to implementation. However, this
form, and all other forms that will be a part of the "electronic
disability folder," should still be compliant with GPEA
requirements by 2003 by being available electronically.
