Business Services Online (BSO)
Our suite of services allows organizations, businesses, individuals, employers, attorneys, non-attorney representatives, and third parties to securely exchange information with us online.
You must register and create your own password to access BSO.
New users can visit the BSO tutorial for more information.
Access for employer services and organizational representative payees
- Your BSO user ID and password are no longer used to access employer services or organizational representative payee services. You must have a Social Security username/password, Login.gov account, or ID.me credential to access the BSO application.
- If you don’t have any of these accounts, you’ll need to create a Login.gov or ID.me account. Select "Create account" in the "Employers" or "Representative payees" box. If you already have a Login.gov or ID.me account, select “Sign in.”
- Please note that you do NOT need to create a new Login.gov or ID.me credential specifically for Social Security purposes. You can use your existing Login.gov or ID.me credentials to sign in to Social Security services.
- We encourage you to sign in to transition your account now — it only takes a few minutes. If you already have a Login.gov or ID.me account, you don’t have to create another one.
- Learn more about Social Security's new access and registration process for BSO: You can access the pre-recorded webinar video, presentation, and frequently asked questions on our Wage Reporting Community Meetings and Webinars webpage.
