All BFET Providers must require all employees (or other persons) with access to DSHS information to complete and sign the Nondisclosure of Confidential Information Agreement for Non-Employee form annually at the beginning of each FFY, no later than October 31st. You will find a preapproved Nondisclosure of Confidential Information Agreement for Non-Employee (03-374E) form on the Provider Resources page of the BFET Website. You must keep all completed DSHS 03-374E forms on file and have them available during your monitoring visit. If you require eJAS access, please email your completed DSHS 03-374E form to the appropriate point of contact listed in the eJAS Access section. Any individuals representing your agency who may come into incidental contact with DSHS participant information (i.e. IT staff, fiscal staff, front desk staff, volunteers) will be required to complete the DSHS 03-374E form.
DSHS policy prohibits using DSHS information or access to eJAS for personal gain or potential conflicts of interest. Working on the case of a family member or friend is expressly prohibited. In addition, BFET Providers are prohibited from using Benefit Verification System (BVS), the eJAS “COLLEGES” model, or other means not explicitly approved to access BFET cases.
