NOTE:

• Emeritus status provides special recognition to permanently-retired social workers who once held the OSW-C^® active certification and may NOT be used in active practice. OSW-C Emeritus status is not verified through this online tool.
• BOSWC^® cannot provide verification for the educational preparation or professional experience of an individual.
