Records & Consent

General Release of Information

Authorize Hope Council to release — or exchange — your records with a court, the Wisconsin DOT, an attorney, or another provider you name. This is the Wisconsin DHS release authorization (Form F-82009); you choose what is shared, with whom, and for how long.

What this form does

This is the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Confidential Information Release Authorization (Form F-82009). Completing it authorizes Hope Council to release — or exchange — the records you check below with a person or organization you name, such as a court, the Wisconsin DOT, an attorney, or another provider. Signing is voluntary and refusal will not affect treatment, payment, enrollment, or benefits — except that clients seeking county funding must sign to be eligible. You may revoke it in writing at any time, except for information already released.

Common Questions

Do I have to sign this?2026-07-14T19:01:12-05:00

Signing is voluntary, and refusal will not affect your treatment, payment, enrollment, or benefits — with one exception: clients seeking county funding must sign to be eligible. You only sign if you want records exchanged with someone you name.

Can I change my mind later?2026-07-14T19:01:25-05:00

Yes. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time, except for information already released while it was in effect. Give your written revocation to Hope Council (the releasing agency). Contact the office at 262-658-8166.

How long does the authorization last?2026-07-14T19:01:39-05:00

Unless you revoke it, it stays in effect until the expiration you choose on the form — a specific date, 16 months from signing, or after a specific action (such as completion of your case).

Can the recipient share my information further?2026-07-14T19:01:55-05:00

Only if the law allows it. Information you authorize for release may be redisclosed by the recipient only as permitted by law, and any redisclosed information may then be governed by different laws.
