Apply for a Waiver
The purpose of the waiver process is to provide eligible Social Services case managers the opportunity to exempt portions of new worker training and to expedite certification. Newly promoted or hired Social Services case managers (including staff with a break in service) must complete specified training in order to achieve certification and to manage a caseload in CPS, Foster Care, and/or Adoptions. Incumbent staff who return from leaves of absence for an extended period of time or who change program areas must also complete applicable training in order to obtain certification in the new program area. These training requirements are outlined in detail in the New Social Services Case Manager Training and Certification Manual and must be met unless a training waiver is granted. Policies and procedures for waivers are outlined in the document Social Services Case Manager Training Waiver Procedures.
To apply for a waiver, the supervisor or county director completes the Application for Training Waivers. This form must be completed in full, including dates of prior experience and training, and emailed to Adell Moore at asmoore@dhr.state.ga.us. Only electronic waiver applications will be accepted. Turn around time for processing waivers is 10 business days from the date a fully completed application is received.
