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.

When we last cleared this IC in 2023, the burden was 447. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 585 hours. This change stems from an increase in the number of responses from 1,784 to 2,339. There is no change to the burden time per response. Although the number of responses changed, SSA did not take any actions to cause this change.
