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 actual State Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Professional Counselors form from your records. Not a reproduction — the same PDF the board accepts.
- 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. 50% of every Pro subscription goes to Shane's Coffee — a vocational training program for people living with mental health challenges and disabilities.
