How do I fill out the Authorization for the Release of Information form?

The purpose of this form is to provide our agency with approval to check on various verifications. This is a required form and all adult members in the household who are 18 years and older must print their name, sign their name and put in the date of the signature on the second page. The first page is solely for your reference. The second page must be returned.

As you can see from the image below, the sections must be filled out.
Be sure to have the names in the right categories. For example:

• The first section is for the Head of Household so only the Head of Household should be in this space.
• The remaining sections are for all other household members over 18
• You must print your name, sign your name and date the form in order for it to be valid

In this example, there are two adults in the household. One is the Head of Household (Jane Doe) and their spouse (Jim Doe). As Jane is the head of household, they would print their name in the first section, sign their name and include the date. In the next section, the other adult household member would print their name, sign their name and date it.
