Social Security Administration's SSI eIAR Web Application
Overview
SSA developed a web application that was implemented on November 23, 2009, which is known as the SSI eIAR system. This application is available through Social Security Administration’s Government-to-Government Services Online web site. The eIAR allows participating IA counties to view and acknowledge Social Security Administration communications, and query information regarding an IAR case. Future eIAR releases will allow participating IAR County Agencies to request IA case reimbursement through this web site.
Effective November 22, 2010, Santa Clara County Social Services designated staff will officially start using the eIAR web application. The SSI eIAR Release 2.2 application is scheduled for implementation on November 20, 2010.
The eIAR service provides a mechanism for state IA agencies to access and communicate IAR information to Social Security Administration electronically. The Query IA case function allows users to access information on IAR cases through pre-defined queries available.
- “Acknowledge Social Security Administration Communications.”
- “Report IA Payment to Approved SSI Cases,” and
- “Query IA Cases
