If needed verification is not available from an electronic data source, the applicant is generally the source used to supply needed verification. However, at times information may also be obtained directly from third parties. The specialist has permission to obtain needed verifications based on the signed and dated application form. When it is necessary to request information from banks, insurance companies, or other sources that do not disclose information without a signed release, the DOM-301, Authorization to Release Information, should be used or a copy of signature page of the ABD application form that contains the Release of Information authorization by the applicant.
