Are You Staying Current with ASPPA's Continuing Education Program?

ASPPA's current continuing education (CE) program cycle began on January 1, 2009, and continues through December 31, 2010. All ASPPA credentialed members must participate in a mandatory continuing education program.

Who, What and When

CPCs, QPAs, QKAs, QPFCs, TGPCs, and APMs
In order to keep your ASPPA credential in good standing, you must earn 40 pension, investment or employee benefit related continuing education credits during this cycle (and in future two-year cycles). Two (2) of these must be Ethics CEs. For newly credentialed members and those reinstating a credential, the number of CE credits required is pro-rated based on the date of admittance or reinstatement within the two-year CE cycle.

FSPAs and MSPAs
ASPPA will verify Enrolled Actuary status with the JBEA for all FSPA and MSPA members at the end of each three-year JBEA CE cycle. FSPAs and MSPAs do not need to file an ASPPA CE reporting form.

ERPAs: ASPPA will verify active ERPA status which is deemed to satisfy ASPPA CE requirements.

If a credentialed member fails to comply with the continuing education requirements, his or her credentials will be suspended. Members may reinstate the suspended credential by earning 40 CE credits and paying a $50.00 reinstatement fee.

Reporting Your CE Credits
You can submit your qualifying CE credit activity at any time. To download the CE Reporting Form, log on to Members Only section of the ASPPA website using your member login and password. From there, select the CE Reporting Form link on the right hand side of the page to access the online CE reporting form. 

All CPCs, QPAs, QKAs, QPFCs, TGPCs and APMs are required to submit an ASPPA Continuing Education Reporting Form in order to retain credentials.
