Information that is essential to the integrated delivery of services through the one-stop delivery system must be shared between partner agencies within the consumer-first workforce system to the full extent permitted under state and federal law. In order to enable the full integration of services for a specific workforce system customer, that customer must be offered the opportunity to provide written consent prior to sharing any information concerning that customer between the workforce system partners which is subject to confidentiality under state or federal law.
