2010 Compliance - Social Work Licensure & Practice

According to NASW only those licensed or practicing under limited permit, as of January 1, 2010, can practice the LMSW and LCSW profession using the titles. Exemptions until January 1, 2010 are for individuals in positions in programs regulated, funded, operated or approved by OMH, OMRDD, OASAS, OCFS, local social service or mental hygiene districts. However, Governor Paterson has extended the exemptions in NYS until June, 2010. He understands our dilemma.
