An Authorization should be thought of as an electronic version of a guarantee letter where a sponsor guarantees payment for a recipient for a set period. Typically, an electronic copy of the guarantee letter is attached to an Authorization as means of documenting the field values (dates, recipients, etc) on the Authorization screen in SSB. Reports can be accessed from SSB to monitor students that have a sponsored agreement for a specific term.
