How do we handle requests for SSI information from covered persons?

It is permitted to share SSI  with another covered person who has a need to know the information in performance of their duties.  The record must be marked as SSI and remains SSI.  The covered person with a need to know is now obligated by the SSI Federal Regulation to protect the SSI record entrusted to their care.  Of note, some records come with instructions that limit further distribution.  If it comes with a limitation, follow the instructions in the record for permission to share.
