What the form is

The Monthly Fieldwork Verification Form is the BACB's official record that a month of fieldwork happened as reported: your independent and supervised hours, the percentage supervised, your supervisor, and the fieldwork type, attested by both signatures. It is the document the BACB relies on if your fieldwork is audited.

The deadline that trips people up

Both signatures are due by the last day of the calendar month following the month of supervision.

Which version to use

Match the form to your supervision arrangement and your application date.

Common mistakes to avoid

Signing late

After the last day of the following month, the whole month is at risk.

Filling the PDF in a browser

Date fields silently fail to save; download and open it in a PDF app.

Combining forms

Don't mix fieldwork types or organizations on one form; use one form each.

Mismatched totals

Percent-supervised and hour totals must match your underlying monthly log.

Wrong version

Using a pre-2027 form when the 2027 version applies (or missing a signature).

How Ripley handles it

Ripley pre-fills the correct form from the hours you have already logged, including the 2027 versions. Download the PDF, review the totals with your supervisor, complete the required signatures, and retain the signed copy with your fieldwork records.

Verification form FAQ

When is the Monthly Fieldwork Verification Form due?

It must be signed by both the trainee and the supervisor by the last day of the calendar month following the month of supervision. Sign promptly each month rather than in a batch at the end.

Which Monthly Verification Form should I use?

Use the Individual Supervisor form if one BCBA supervises you, or the Multiple-Supervisor / Organization form if a group or organization provides supervision. There are separate pre-2027 and 2027 versions, so match the form to your application date.

Do I complete one form per month?

Yes. Complete one form per supervisory period, per organization, and per fieldwork type. Fill it out fully; the BACB advises against completing it in a web browser, since dates may not save correctly.

Can Ripley generate my Monthly Verification Form?

Yes. Ripley pre-fills the applicable form, including the 2027 versions, from the hours you have logged. Download the PDF, review it with your supervisor, complete the required signatures, and retain the signed copy with your fieldwork records.
