This document is a Data Sharing Agreement between the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and the Florida International University (FIU) Board of Trustees. The agreement, identified with DEO Agreement Number F1350, is a legal document establishing confidentiality guidelines for sharing Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data within the South Florida Region.

The purpose of the agreement is to provide FIU with confidential employment and wage information from DEO for a research project. The data transfer will consist of Florida employer names, addresses, telephone numbers, industry codes, and total wages paid, which will be encrypted using federal information processing standards. Access to this confidential data will be limited to specific FIU employees with a valid need-to-know, and the information cannot include individual employee details like social security numbers or personal identifiers. The agreement has no associated costs and will remain in effect until the information transfer is complete or terminated by either party.
