When may a CE extension be requested, and what fee applies?

• A. Within 30 days before the end of the compliance period and pay $75
• B. Within 60 days before the end of the period and pay $25
• C. Within 30 days after the end of the period and pay $75
• D. At any time and pay $50

Answer: (A)

This question focuses on when a CE extension can be requested and the fee that applies. The correct rule is that you may request a CE extension only within the 30 days leading up to the end of the compliance period, and the fee is $75. This timing gives a last-minute grace window before the renewal deadline, allowing you to complete any remaining CE requirements while keeping the process within a defined deadline. Requests outside this window—such as after the period ends or well before it—aren’t addressed by this provision, and the associated fees in those scenarios don’t match the rule.
