Are disability benefit specialists and elderly benefit specialists limited required reporters?
No. Although some benefit specialists hold a professional license as a registered nurse or social worker, they do not see clients “in the course of the person’s professional duties” in their licensed capacity. They are not employed to work as a nurse or a social worker; they are employed as a benefit specialist and are to serve in that capacity when seeing clients.
