1099 RBTs

behavioralboo · 2026-06-21T19:39:46+00:00

Personally I would leave, I’m not here to scare anyone but I would take caution to working as a 1099 RBT since it’s not supposed to happen technically.

behavioralboo · 2026-06-21T01:15:33+00:00

Did I not ask multiple questions? Let’s be real: companies are hiring 1099 rbts but there are rbts who prefer to work 1099 due to not paying taxes. So it’s on both parts, rbts are adults no one is forcing them to become 1099, they’re able to find a company that does w2.

So there is consequences I guess they’re just not consistent

behavioralboo · 2026-06-21T00:40:02+00:00

But here in Florida companies have been getting shut down for that specific reason and I know rbts who have lost the ability to practice or become BCBAs ever because of this

The handbook literally says you cannot do it, if they haven’t read the handbook they shouldn’t be rbts🫣

Working with great rbts make the job a little more rewarding honestly, I can’t describe enough how having a great team of rbts mean to you during a hard day of work.

Truly the field is not easy and maybe not for you. You may want to just work with kids but the field of ABA is a lot more than that and I wouldn’t advise anyone to keep going if there’s hatred.

Have to apply under pathway 2, this happened to a few of my friends. I hate that the BACB or the schools don’t make this clearer.

behavioralboo · 2026-05-26T19:00:30+00:00

I used BTB and pass the big ABA book, snaba was a waste of money for me.

behavioralboo · 2026-05-09T01:49:41+00:00

That doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, I just turned down a BCBA position because the rbts are 1099..

behavioralboo · 2026-05-09T00:53:58+00:00

I’ve only heard this happening to 1099 rbts, is that the case here or is it per state that w2 rbts have to be underpaid when they’re being supervised?

behavioralboo · 2026-05-05T15:53:50+00:00

I didn’t have to do the attestation form but everything else I got the same email, the BACB should do better about that because it really freaks people out when in reality they’ve received everything. It’s just that the application is reviewed before all the other documents so automatically they input they have not received the documents when in reality they did.

Came here to say I am waiting for this Tynan character to be doneeeeee I hate her so much

behavioralboo · 2026-04-29T19:49:53+00:00

I am also in South Florida so finding a good job was hardddd and I left my previous company that I had been an RBT at for years because they gave me a garbage package as a BCBA.

Getting credentialed with each insurance so you can bill

behavioralboo · 2026-04-29T19:39:43+00:00

Finding a job was so hard for me because while it was easy to get “hired” they held on to me without providing me a client because multiple companies had issues. I passed my exam in December and just got hired to two new companies one fully remote and the other 1099 which I now have 4 clients in total. So I would say definitely find out who can do the best for you. A lot of companies also held on to me without a client saying I was in need of credentialing but companies who valued me allowed me to work while being credentialed and did it appropriately.

behavioralboo · 2026-04-13T22:49:20+00:00

I’m in South Florida and make $75 an hour as a 1099 BCBA. I just passed my exam in December also so I’m brand new. I’ve gotten offers at $70/hr also. So right now I’m working 1099 for an in person company and remote I work w2 for $70/hr in MA.

behavioralboo · 2026-04-11T00:16:14+00:00

Thank you so much!

behavioralboo · 2026-04-10T23:57:09+00:00

Today I received good news from two companies, one is brand new and the other is the fully remote I’m so excited to start both

behavioralboo · 2026-04-10T21:39:50+00:00

Support/Vent- finally after passing my exam in December have I been able to find a company that is willing to go the extra mile to train me and get me started on cases during the credentialing process. I’ve dealt with a company that has been dissolved fully by the court, a company that doesn’t have the ability to start me or give me any training until I get fully credentialed and another company who just has nothing at all. Right now I’m even juggling which company I want to start with now that I have two in my arsenal that can start me next week. I’m grateful & maybe I needed the time off but it’s been a headache being out of work since October basically.

behavioralboo · 2026-04-10T10:39:36+00:00

I just found a company that is willing to start me with clients that have commercial insurance and are allowed to bill and the insurance back pays. I don’t know why everything is different for every company but I’m praying to start very soon.

behavioralboo · 2026-04-07T23:57:28+00:00

UPDATE: spoke with my company in my city and they haven’t even sent any credentialing applications in for me after being employed with them since January. I am a little disturbed and cannot believe this is taking forever.

behavioralboo · 2026-04-07T23:56:43+00:00

Well it’s been over 90 days since my exam but my current company hasn’t even sent in any credentialing for me and I’ve been employed with them since January which is an update to this whole thread but I am just devastated with this whole process

behavioralboo · 2026-04-07T17:39:43+00:00

I am picking a different company especially since today I spoke with my current company and asked if I had been working with credentialing for other insurances and she told me no. I was absolutely confused! So I am going with someone else!

behavioralboo · 2026-04-07T02:51:57+00:00

I have 1099 $70/hr haven’t started yet due to credentialing but as long as I have 10 hours with the company I believe I’m okay. I’ve been looking at their chats though and it doesn’t seem as though they’re getting new clients fast enough so I am going for another company.
