Employers remain solely responsible for hiring decisions, credential verification, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

INeedASocialWorker reserves the right to remove listings or suspend accounts that violate these standards. Misrepresentation may result in removal of listings or account termination.

9. License Verification

INeedASocialWorker.com offers an optional License Verification service for job seekers. License verification reflects publicly available state licensing board records at the time of review.

9a. License Renewal Reminder Disclaimer

INASW license expiration reminders are provided as a courtesy only. While INASW may send reminders at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before the expiration date entered in a member's account, INASW does not guarantee that reminders will be sent, received, delivered, or received on time.

• •Members are solely responsible for maintaining an active professional license, monitoring their license status and expiration date, completing all renewal requirements, and renewing by the applicable licensing board's deadline
• •Failure to receive an INASW reminder does not relieve a member of their responsibility to maintain and renew their professional license
• •INASW is not responsible for missed renewals, expired licenses, late fees, employment consequences, disciplinary action, or other losses resulting from reliance on the reminder service
• •Members should verify all licensing requirements, deadlines, and license status directly with their applicable state licensing board

INASW reminders are a convenience and should not be used as the sole method for tracking professional license renewal deadlines.
