1. (a) An individual who finds that the information collected by and in the possession of the department on a form or through electronic media is incorrect, has a right to have the department correct the information. The individual has no right to change information that was correct when submitted, but is no longer correct.

The program may be identified by correspondence received by the individual from the department, a request for public information from the individual, or the program to whom the form was submitted by the individual.

3. (c) The correction request must:

   1. (1) specifically identify the program where the records are located and include the document name, and if known, the page and paragraph;
   2. (2) specifically identify the information which the individual believes is incorrect;
   3. (3) provide the department with sufficient information to establish that the information is incorrect and was incorrect at the time it was submitted by the individual; and
   4. (4) provide the correct information.
