The fine print most trackers miss
Michigan-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LCSW associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Three tiers: Limited, LMSW, LMSW-C (Clinical) or LMSW-M (Macro)
- If the supervised experience is gained in Michigan, the candidate must hold a Limited LMSW license while accruing it
- Supervised experience must be earned between 16 and 40 hours per week
- Michigan requires at least 4 supervision hours each month, with at least half of the supervision provided individually
Built for Michigan
