The fine print most trackers miss
Pennsylvania-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LCSW associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- At least 1,500 of the 3,000 work hours must be supervised by a qualifying supervisor
- Supervision meetings are calculated at a 2:40 ratio, which is about 150 total hours for 3,000 hours worked
- 30 CE hours every 2 years (3 ethics, 1 suicide prevention)
Built for Pennsylvania
How ClearPath handles Pennsylvania LCSW
- Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 3,000-hour total, the 1,500-hour direct-client minimum, and the supervision ratios at the time you log it.
- Auto-filled official form. When you're ready to apply, ClearPath fills the official form of the State Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Professional Counselors from your records. It is the same PDF the board accepts, not a reproduction.
- Supervisor portal. Your supervisor logs in, reviews your weekly entries, and e-signs without printing. No paper PDFs, no scanning.
- AI hour reviewer. Ask plain-language questions about your log ("what week did I miss a supervision hour?") and get the exact answer in seconds.
- $25/year. One quarter the price of the legacy tracker.
