Washington Confidential Information Form (WAIF) is a document used to protect personal information of employees and other individuals in the state of Washington. It is designed to keep confidential records, such as Social Security numbers, birthdates, and financial information, secure. Waifs must be filled out by individuals and organizations that need to keep sensitive information from being disclosed to the public. The forms are used by employers, schools, hospitals, financial institutions, and other organizations that handle confidential information. There are three types of Washington Confidential Information Forms: the Employee Confidential Information Form, the Student Confidential Information Form, and the Public Records Exemption Request Form. The Employee Confidential Information Form is used to keep employee records secure, while the Student Confidential Information Form is used to protect the private information of students. The Public Records Exemption Request Form is used to protect confidential information from being released in response to a public records request.
