Abstract: The Government-to-Government Services Online (GSO) web site allows various external organizations to submit files to a variety of SSA systems and, in some cases, receive files in return. The SSA systems that process data transferred via Government-to-Government services include, but are not limited to, systems responsible for disability processing and benefit determination or termination. SSA uses the information from Form SSA-159 (Government-to-Government Services Online Website Registration Form) to register the requestor to use the GSO website. SSA then creates a user’s account based on this information. SSA provides the user with account information and conducts a walkthrough of the Government-to-Government Services website as necessary. Established organizations submit Form SSA-159 to register additional users as well. The requesting organization can also modify its online account (e.g., address change) by completing an online Form SSA-160 (Government-to-Government Service Online Website Account Modification/Deletion Form). Respondents are State and local government agencies and some private sector business entities.
