Abstract: Employers participating in the Basic Pilot Program must first read and agree to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the SSA. The Basic Pilot Program has two different methods by which employers can sign up to use the system: as users who intend to run queries themselves (Basic Pilot Program users) and as Designated Agents who intend to run queries on behalf of other employers who choose not to run the queries themselves. Each method requires completion of a separate MOU which provides the specific terms and conditions governing the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved, as well as specific information on the employer user. Additionally, employers signed up to use the system also have the option to have management oversight of system usage for their organization. This functionality currently requires the employers to additionally register as Corporate Administrators. The regular Basic Pilot Program user registration process begins with an employer agreeing to the terms of the MOU, and once agreed to, the employer completes the process by providing company and relevant information into the system. (see attached screen shots). The Designated Agent user registration includes the respective agent agreeing to the terms of the MOU, and providing information about their company and about the company they intend to run basic pilot queries for.
