Subpart C—Disclosure of Official Records and Information

 §401.100 Disclosure of records with the consent of the subject of the record.

(a) Except as permitted by the Privacy Act and the regulations in this chapter, or if required by the FOIA, we will not disclose your record without your written consent. The consent must specify the individual, organizational unit or class of individuals or organizational units to whom the record may be disclosed, which record may be disclosed and, where applicable, during which time frame the record may be disclosed (e.g., during the school year, while the subject individual is out of the country, whenever the subject individual is receiving specific services). We will not honor a blanket consent to disclose all your records to unspecified individuals or organizational units. We will verify your identity and, where applicable (e.g., where you consent to disclosure of a record to a specific individual), the identity of the individual to whom the record is to be disclosed.

(b) A parent or guardian of a minor is not authorized to give consent to a disclosure of the minor's medical record. See §401.55(c) for the procedures for disclosures of or access to the medical records of minors.
