I am not quite sure from your email how you are going to deal with this but it seems there is no reason, even with the exception, not to allow this person to review her own file. JP Jane C.

Section 185(a)(3) of WIA has a requirement that states maintain standardized records for all individual participants and subparagraph (4)(A) of Section 185(a) provides generally that records must be released except (under subparagraph (4)(B)) "information, the disclosure of which woud constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." Under New York's FOI law, this exclusion would not apply to individual requesting the records. Has anyone dealt with this issue differently?
