Any CPS social workers here? I have an MSW and I’m considering going back to school to be able to get the ISBE licensure to work as a CPS social worker, I heard they may be waiving the need for the licensure due to high need for social workers has anyone heard of this? I would also love to hear more details about starting pay, benefits, PTO, and workload. I would appreciate any feedback!

I used to do CPS, and I will say that if the work culture is good and the coworkers/supervision are good, it’s definitely worth it. Esp if you know you can handle the type of work. But if the other staff are anything less than supportive or competent, not worth it. It adds so much frustration and stress to an already difficult job.

I’m a CPS investigator in TX. I’ve been an LMSW many years but TX doesn’t require licensure to work at CPS. They don’t even require a college degree anymore because of the high caseloads and turnover and too few workers.

Benefits are exceptional, including $0 monthly premium for health insurance. Starting pay is approx 48k-52k so for an entry level position, it’s good pay. If you’re licensed (especially at the MSW level) and have experience, pay is low. I took a huge pay cut and it hasn’t been worth it yet. Working OT is a must and work/life balance isn’t supported.
