S.D. Admin. R. 67:10:01:35.01
An individual or entity outside of the department requesting confidential information about an applicant or recipient must make the request in writing. The information being requested must be for the purposes provided in § 67:10:01:35.
The department must receive an authorization form completed and signed by the applicant or recipient or the applicant's or recipient's parent or guardian before the department may release any confidential information. The department must have the original, completed, and signed form in its possession before releasing any confidential information.
The department may not disclose information received from a source other than the applicant or recipient or the applicant's or recipient's parent or guardian even if an authorization form regarding the requested information is provided to the department.
Federal agencies that oversee the department's TANF program, other federally-funded, state-administered public assistance programs, and other state-administered programs that have data use agreements with the department are exempt from the provisions of this section.
