A public housing authority may obtain information from the Department of Revenue and the Department of Employment and Workforce for the purpose of assisting in verifying the eligibility of a person for any public housing program. The request for this information may be by electronic means and the request must specify the exact information requested, together with sufficient information to allow these agencies positively to identify the correct person. The authority may forward the request either to the main agency address or to a local branch and the agency shall provide an expeditious response which may be by electronic means. Where requests or responses have been made by electronic means, a written copy of the request or response must be subsequently forwarded to the appropriate party.
