The Pennsylvania Department of Insurance issued a statement for producers regarding COVID-19. "While the Insurance Department strongly encourages licensees to take advantage of online CE courses, we understand that at this time, the circumstances related to COVID-19 may prevent some licensees from being able to complete CE requirements in time for their licensing renewal. Therefore, until further notice, the Commissioner of the Commonwealth, pursuant to 40 P.S. 310.8(e), will temporarily waive CE requirements for licensees who cannot meet requirements due to extenuating circumstances related to COVID-19.
The Department understands that this will necessarily impact licensees who are either renewing their licenses or preparing to renew their licenses. In anticipation of these concerns, beginning Monday, March 16, 2020 the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, pursuant to 40 P.S. 310.8(e), will temporarily extend the licensing renewal deadline for licensees impacted by extenuating circumstances related to COVID-19.
While the Insurance Department strongly encourages licensees to renew their licenses by the due date via electronic means such as Sircon and NIPR, as well as take advantage of online CE courses, we understand that at this time, the circumstances related to COVID-19 may prevent some licensees from being able to renew their licenses or complete CE requirements in time. Licensees are encouraged to monitor www.insurance.pa.gov for periodic licensure updates. Any and all renewal requirements, including CE, are still applicable and the Department will work with licensees once COVID-19 has been contained to meet these requirements."
