North Dakota Century Code, Section 50-06-16, prohibits the disclosure of any information about persons applying for or receiving assistance under any program administered by the Department of Human Services.

 

A written release of information signed by the applicant must accompany any request for information regarding a LIHEAP household. If the agency requesting information does not have a Release of Information Form, Department of Human Services Form 1059 may be used.

 

The county social service board and any persons receiving payments on behalf of LIHEAP households may NOT release the names of LIHEAP applicants to any person/agency other than an authorized representative of the Department of Human Services or the county social service board.
