Recertification Fee Waiver
If you are unemployed you may qualify for a waiver of the Recertification Reporting Fee. The Certification Committee will review each request case by case and will make the final decision on eligibility.
To qualify you must:
- Be prepared to recertify by having completed all 45 continuing education credits
- Provide documentation verifying unemployment status and period of unemployment
- Submit a Recertification Fee Waiver Request Form
A fee waiver does not exempt the certificant from the mandatory requirement to participate in the random audit conducted by AFP at the end of the recertification cycle.
