    Default Can Your Probation Officer Inquire About Your Unemployment Case

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York

    I am on probation for a misdemeanor drug charge. I have been on probation for about 2 years 5 months, and am nearing the end of my punishment.

    I was recently laid off and am now on unemployment, and would like to know if my PO can call and get information from unemployment about my claim, or would my PO need me to sign a hipaa authorization form in order to get information? Or would they not be able to get the information at all?

    Thanks!

    HIPAA has nothing whatsoever to do with an unemployment claim

    Yes your PO can get it. And unless you wan t to be violated for failure to pay reporting fees, I'd sugest you get it to him.

    Reporting fees? As in the monthly charges for being on probation? I pay those. I'm not trying to get out of paying anything, I was simply curious if they could actually call unemployment and find out how much I'm receiving, if I'm collecting, general information like that.

    Unless your PO has a need for that info, he won't even look at it. Unless you are giving him reason to be skeptical, I really don't see the reason for your concern.

    Probation can make you paranoid, I guess. Thanks for your help.
