District of Columbia Continuing Education ExemptionsThere are no exemptions to the DC insurance continuing education requirements. Non-resident producers are required to comply with the CE requirements of their home state.
A doctor's certification of a long term illness or disability, active duty in the United States Armed Forces (outside of the DC area), or an emergency deemed sufficient by the Commissioner can be reason for a temporary waiver to the CE requirement, as handled between producers and the Department on a case-by-case basis.
Under federal law, even exempt individuals must take the required LTC course before they can begin selling long term care policies.
