The Social Work Compact in Pennsylvania

A Social Work Licensure Compact bill has been introduced in Pennsylvania but not enacted. What that means for social workers who want to see clients in Pennsylvania, and when you need the LCSW itself.

Concierge licensing for social workers in Pennsylvania, from eligibility check to issued license.

A Pennsylvania Compact Bill Is Pending

Compact status checked 2026-10-08 against swcompact.org

Pennsylvania is not a Social Work Licensure Compact member. A bill to join has been introduced, but nothing changes until it is enacted, and even then no state is issuing multistate licenses yet. Plan on a Pennsylvania license.

Compact status moves: more states join each session, and the Commission expects to open multistate licensing around 2027. This page reflects our last check, not a live feed, so confirm a state's status before relying on it.
