If CE requirements are completed within 120 days after the end of the compliance period and the fee is paid, what is the result?

• A. License remains forfeited
• B. License is reinstated
• C. License is suspended
• D. A new license is required

Answer: (B)

Continuing education must be completed during the allowed period and the required fee paid to keep or regain licensure. When a grace window exists—up to 120 days after the end of the compliance period—the licensee can finish the CE credits and pay the fee, and the license is returned to active status. In this scenario, meeting the CE requirements within that window and paying the fee means the license is reinstated, so you can continue practicing without interruption. If CE isn’t completed or the fee isn’t paid within the grace period, the license would typically be suspended or forfeited until compliance is satisfied.
