New York Social Work CE Tracking (2026): Organized Workflow for LCSW/LMSW

For New York social workers, the best way to reduce renewal stress is to make your tracking system organized from day one.

This guide is the workflow we recommend for LCSW/LMSW tracking, plus the safest way to verify official requirements.

Quick workflow checklist

1. Verify official requirements and save the source.
2. Set your renewal window (start/end dates).
