Biden-Harris Administration Launching Initiative to Build Multi-state Social Worker Licensure Compact

ntcs speakers
On Tuesday, July 16, HHS Deputy Secretary Andrea Palm and HRSA Administrator Carole Johnson announced the first-ever Licensure Portability Grant Program investment in a multi-state social worker licensure compact at HRSA’s National Telehealth Conference. State licensure compacts allow states to come together on a common approach to licensing health care providers, allowing providers to practice across state lines without having to apply for a license in each state. Streamlining licensure while maintaining quality standards improves access to services both by better facilitating hiring and by easing pathways to utilizing telehealth.

The announcement was made at HRSA’s National Telehealth Conference, the largest federal conference on telehealth issues.
