I authorize my physician or practitioner to disclose my current personal health   
information to my care provider and to the Employment Development Department (EDD).  
I understand that such information includes a diagnosis and prognosis of my   
current condition, the date it commenced, and an estimation of the amount of care   
that I require from my care provider as a result of my current condition. I further   
understand that disclosure of my personal heath information may include my   
AIDS/HIV status, drug or alcohol addiction, or any other physical or mental   
condition.  
I understand that the EDD may disclose this information as authorized by the California Unemployment Insurance Code (CUIC) and that such re-disclosed information may no longer be protected. I agree that photocopies of this authorization form shall be as valid as the original.  
I understand that unless I inform the EDD in writing at PO Box 997017, Sacramento,   
CA 95899-7017, that I wish to revoke this authorization, it will be valid for 10 years   
from the date the EDD receives it or the effective date of this claim, whichever is   
later. I understand that I have the right to receive a copy of this authorization form   
from the EDD if I request one in writing.  
I make this authorization to support my care provider's claim for Paid Family Leave (PFL)  
benefits. I understand that I may not revoke my authorization to avoid prosecution   
or to prevent the EDD's recovery of monies to which it is legally entitled.
