There's a WAC for That!
Updating Your AFH Information
One of the biggest marketing tips from our Spring Conference series is to make sure your contact information is up to date on all platforms! Do you know what phone number your inquires are going to? Is your email address professional?
Keep in mind, our system is linked with the DSHS database. If we have an incorrect phone number or email address, so does DSHS! Any changes to your contact information need to be updated through the AFH Information Change DSHS 10-585 form and sent to RCSBOA@dshs.wa.gov.
Did you know you are also required to update DSHS when there is a change of personnel? This is done through the AFH Personnel Changes DSHS 02-709 form.
