    This article covers:

    1. When to lock records
    2. Adjusting Visibility Settings
    3. Restrictions on record locking

     

    When to Lock Records

    1. According to their Release of Information responses:

    a. Release of information: Options B or C

    b. Supplemental: Does not agree to share disability Information

    2. If the client is fleeing or attempting to flee a domestic violence or human trafficking situation

    3. If the client self-reports as being HIV/AIDS positive
