The Form F-14014, an essential document for individuals seeking Medicaid Disability or Katie Beckett Medicaid Applications within the State of Wisconsin, functions as a critical tool in the application process. This document, comprehensively designed, facilitates the authorized disclosure of a broad spectrum of personal information, ranging from medical, educational, to other pertinent details relevant to an applicant's disability assessment. By signing this form, an individual voluntarily agrees to the release of their records--including but not limited to medical histories, psychiatric evaluations, and educational assessments--to the Disability Determination Bureau (DDB). This process not only adheres to a plethora of legislative requirements, including HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) but also assures the confidentiality and protection of the individual's information under the Federal Privacy Act. The form intricately details the types of records that can be disclosed, specifies the recipients of such information, and underscores the purpose behind these disclosures, aiming to streamline the determination of eligibility for benefits while safeguarding applicants' privacy rights. Furthermore, it highlights the option for individuals to revoke this authorization, outlining the potential consequences of such actions on the processing of their claims. Offering a 12-month validity period from the date of signature, the Form F-14014 embodies a balance between the necessity of information sharing for disability determination and the imperative of protecting personal information in adherence to federal and state laws.

Explanation of Form
“Authorization to Disability Determination Bureau (DDB)”
We need your written authorization to get the information required to process your application for Medicaid Disability or Katie Beckett Medicaid. Laws and regulations require that sources of personal information have a signed authorization before releasing it to the Disability Determination Bureau (DDB). Also, laws require specific authorization for the release of information about certain conditions and from educational sources.
You can provide this authorization by signing a Form
You have the right to revoke this authorization at any time, except to the extent a source of information has already relied on it to take an action. To do so, make a written request to your county social or human services department, the Katie Beckett Program or directly to the Disability Determination Bureau (P.O. Box 7886, Madison, WI
IMPORTANT INFORMATION, INCLUDING NOTICE REQUIRED BY THE PRIVACY ACT
All personal information collected by the DDB is protected by the Federal Privacy Act of 1974. Once medical information is disclosed to the DDB, it is no longer protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) health information privacy provisions (45 CFR part 164). The DDB retains personal information in strict adherence to the retention schedules established and maintained in conjunction with the National Archives and Records Administration. At the end of a record’s useful life cycle, it is destroyed in accordance with the privacy provisions, as specified in 36 CFR part 1228.
The DDB will use the information obtained with this form to determine your eligibility for benefits, and your ability to manage any benefits received. This use usually includes review of the information by DDB staff in processing your case. In some cases, your information may also be reviewed by DDB staff that process your appeal of a decision, or by investigators to resolve allegations of fraud or abuse, and may be used in any related administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings.
Signing this form is voluntary, but failing to sign it, or revoking it before we receive necessary information, could prevent an accurate or timely decision on your claim, and could result in denial or loss of benefits. Although the information we obtain with this form is used for the purposes stated above and the information may be disclosed by the DDB without your consent if authorized by Federal laws such as the Privacy Act and the Social Security Act. For example, the DDB may disclose:
1.To enable a third party (e.g., consulting physicians) or other government agency to assist the DDB to establish rights to Social Security benefits and/or Medicaid coverage;
2.To comply with State and local laws requiring the release of information in situations of suspected child or elder abuse.;
3.We may also use the information you give us when we match records by computer. Matching programs compare our records with those of other Federal, state, or local government agencies. Many agencies may use matching programs to find or prove that a person qualifies for benefits paid by the government. The law allows us to do this even if you do not agree to it.
