The Joint Board has issued Final amendment to the CPE requirements.

These changes:

• Remove the physical presence requirement for formal programs.
• Modify the CPE requirement for certain actuaries who seek to return to active enrollment from inactive status due to their failure to timely satisfy the renewal requirements in the first enrollment cycle after their initial enrollment.
• Remove the physical location requirement for certificates of instruction and completion.
• Add a requirement that certificates of instruction reflect the hours credited toward the formal program requirement.

Effective and applicability dates: These changes were effective Sept. 18, 2025, and apply to all enrollment cycles ending after Sept. 18, 2025. The temporary physical presence waiver announced in IR-2024-70, March 13, 2024, remained in effect until Sept. 18, 2025.
