Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Changed CPE rule for certain return-to-active cases
If you're an enrolled actuary who went to inactive status because you failed to timely satisfy renewal requirements in your first enrollment cycle after initial enrollment, the rule modifies the CPE requirement you must meet to return to active enrollment. The final regulations change how those returning actuaries satisfy CPE for reactivation.
No more in-person class requirement
If you're an enrolled actuary, the rule removes the requirement that you be physically present for formal continuing professional education (CPE) programs needed to keep active enrollment. You can meet the formal CPE requirement without attending in-person classes.
Course certificates no longer need a physical location
If you're an enrolled actuary or a course provider, the rule removes the requirement that course certification include a physical location. Course certificates no longer must list where the course was held.
Certificates must show credited CPE hours
If you're an enrolled actuary, certificates of instruction for continuing professional education courses must now reflect the hours credited toward the formal program requirement. Your certificate will need to state how many credit hours apply to your CPE.
