What must an agent with an inactive license continue to fulfill?

An agent with an inactive license is still required to fulfill continuing education requirements. This obligation exists to ensure that the agent remains informed about industry regulations, new products, and ethical practices even when they are not actively selling insurance. Continuing education helps maintain professional competency, which is essential for when the agent decides to reactivate their license in the future.

While active sales quotas, client management duties, and annual performance reviews are typically tied to an active license, the focus on continuing education underscores the importance the insurance industry places on ongoing learning and adherence to the standards set forth by regulatory authorities. This ensures that all agents, regardless of their active status, maintain the necessary knowledge to perform effectively and ethically when they return to active status.
