ERE (Electronic Records Express) is an online system which enables 
medical providers and various third parties to submit disability

This request is for the Third-Party Registration Form. The respondents 
are third-party representatives of disability applicants or recipients 
who want to use ERE to electronically access beneficiary folders and 
submit information to SSA.

    Number of Respondents: 78,344.
