Abstract: The Government-to-Government Services Online (GSO) Website allows various external organizations to submit files to a variety of SSA systems and in some cases receive return files. The users include state/local government agencies, other federal agencies, and some nongovernmental business entities. The SSA systems that process data transferred via GSO include, but are not limited to, applications responsible for disability processing and benefit determination or termination. A sponsor within SSA who knows the requestor completes the registration form, SSA-159, and submits the information to SSA’s User Interface Team (UIT). SSA uses the information on Form SSA-118 (Government-to-Government Services Online Web site Registration Form) to maintain the identity of the requestor within eData. Once this is completed, SSA provides the requestor with the new password and conducts a walkthrough of the eData Web site as necessary. The organization can also modify its online account (e.g., address change) by completing an online Form SSA-160(Government-to-Government Service Online Web site Account Modification/Deletion Form).
