Renewal of Appointments (24-Month Cycle)

An appointment continues in force until suspended, revoked, or terminated — but insurers must file renewal requests biennially (every twenty-four [24] months): in the appointee's birth month for individual licensees, or the month the original appointment was issued for entities. Appointing entities file lists of renewed/terminated appointees the month after expiration with fees and taxes. Early filing carries no penalty (effective the first day of the month the appointment would have expired); late renewals may be accepted at the Department's discretion only with late-filing, continuation, and reinstatement fees — paid by the appointing entity. An entity may require its own training programs as an appointment condition, but never a course approved for CE credit — and may appoint only persons who have met the CE requirements for the license.

Every 24 months, in your birth month, the company re-ups your appointment — and it can't force you into CE-credit courses to keep it.
