Part | 1085 | Confidential Information Requests Received Through Masterfile |
Type of Filing | Periodic Refile |
Regulation Status | Inactive |
Effective | 01/02/2002 to 12/27/2018 |
Regulation Authority:
42-35, 42-72-5(12)
Purpose and Reason:
While most non-Departmental employees have no access over the telephone to information contained in Masterfile and only limited access to information by written request, certain professionals may be given limited verbal information provided their identity is properly verified prior to release and it has been clearly established that they have a need and a right to know such information. Masterfile employees may then only verify that DCYF is currently involved and provide the name and phone number of the assigned worker and supervisor or they may verify that DCYF is not currently active. No information about previous DCYF activity or other case related information may be provided by Masterfile employees over the telephone.
