All records, which contain information pertaining to the identity, diagnosis, or treatment of anyone accessing EAP, are confidential. Disclosures shall occur only under the following circumstance:

When authorized by signed consent.
When records are subpoenaed by court order and are not otherwise protected by law.
When the clinician determines that the life or safety of the client or others is seriously threatened.

Records on individuals must be maintained in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, Public Law 93-579.

Eligibility

An eligible dependent is defined as an employee’s legally married spouse or registered domestic partner and any unmarried children under 26 years of age (effective 7/1/2020). Eligible children include natural children, legally adopted children, stepchildren, and children for whom the employee is the legal guardian or who live with the employee in a regular parent/child relationship and are economically dependent upon the employee. If any unmarried child, who upon attaining age 26 (effective 7/1/2020), is incapable of self-support because of physical disability or mental incapacity and is dependent on the eligible employee for support and care, he/she shall continue to be considered a dependent under this definition, provided that proof of such incapacity is provided to the contractor. A child ceases to be a dependent upon marriage, when eligible as an employee, or upon entry full time into any branch of the Armed Forces.

Seasonal employees and retired annuitants are eligible for EAP services during employment.

Services are based on your individual bargaining unit.
