Social Security Administration (SSA) is looking for volunteers to participate in a study September 8-16. To participate, you must qualify as a responsible entity officer (REO) for the entity you are registering for.
SSA would like feedback on a new application that will allow an REO to delegate and authorize who can submit wage reports for its company via Business Services Online (BSO).
SSA defines an REO as an individual who is authorized to execute agreements on behalf of the entity that are legally binding and enforceable. REO examples include: a chief executive officer (CEO); a director or a senior manager; a board of director or authorized board member; an employee with power of attorney; the owner of an LLC; a general or limited partner of a partnership; a business owner (sole proprietorship); or an individual who has control over a church’s funds or assets.
To participate, send an email to BSOParticipants@ssa.gov with “Invitation to participate in BSO study” in the subject line. Include your name and your role in the company as well as a valid email and telephone number in the message.
SSA will notify you if you are selected. Each session will take 90 minutes using Zoom.
