Don't Miss the 2026 NASW National Conference

This June, social workers from across the country will gather in Washington, DC for the 2026 NASW National Conference, June 10–13 at the Marriott Marquis. This year's theme, "Beyond the Breaking Point: Connection Through Purpose and Power," centers the resilience, connection, and collective strength that define our profession. Four days of dynamic sessions, networking opportunities, and professional development await, and we want to make sure you are part of it. If you have colleagues or peers who are not yet NASW members, this is a great event to share with them as well. Conference registration includes a path to full NASW membership, so attending is an easy first step for anyone looking to get more connected to the profession.

Not sure what is happening with CareSource? CareSource announced that, due to an overpayment error, they plan to reduce reimbursement rates for some services by 15% and retroactively recoup payments to providers (or "clawback" payments) from the last two years. Actions that will put some providers in a financially untenable position, and hurt access to services for those who use Medicaid across Ohio.

CareSource announced that, due to an overpayment error, they plan to reduce reimbursement rates for some services by 15% and retroactively recoup payments to providers (or "clawback" payments) from the last two years. Actions that will put some providers in a financially untenable position, and hurt access to services for those who use Medicaid across Ohio. We need providers, agencies, and stakeholders across Ohio to sign on to this letter to the Ohio Department of Medicaid requesting immediate action. We also urge you to contact your legislator about this issue.
