- (a) An individual who finds that the information collected by and in the possession of the agency on a form or through electronic media, is incorrect, has a right to have the agency correct the information.

The program or division may be identified by correspondence received by the individual from the agency, a request for public information from the individual, or the program or division to whom the form was submitted by the individual.
(c) The correction request must:
- (1) specifically identify the information which the individual believes is incorrect;
