3 Autofill Request Form Service Utilize administrative appeal decision data and provide auto-completion services based on the standard format of administrative appeal petitions and applications to make it easier for people who have difficulty filling out petitions to use the system. Implement a one-stop administrative appeals service to expand the number of organizations covered by the EASY Administrative Appeals Service. - Expand disclosure of decisions and facilitate the filling in forms of requests and applications by integrating the online channels of 123 administrative appeals organizations, including general and special administrative appeals, into EASY Administrative Appeals.
