To reinstate before forfeiture for failure to complete CE requirements, which actions are required?

• A. Complete CE within 120 days after end of the compliance period and pay a $75 reinstatement fee
• B. Pay a $75 reinstatement fee only
• C. Take a new licensing exam
• D. Surrender the license and reapply

Answer: (A)

Reinstatement before forfeiture is about curing the CE deficiency and paying a fee within a grace period. To do this you must complete the required continuing education credits for the prior compliance period and submit the $75 reinstatement fee within 120 days after the end of that period. This combination shows you’ve met the ongoing education standards and allows your license to be reinstated without going through full licensure again. Paying only the fee doesn’t satisfy the CE requirement, taking a new licensing exam isn’t part of this reinstatement process, and surrendering the license would trigger a reapplication rather than a cure-and-reinstate path.
