✅ Who Should Take This Course?

• New York licensed insurance agents, brokers, and producers who hold life or accident and health lines
• Life insurance agents who recommend, sell, or replace life policies and annuities
• Producers subject to Regulation 187's best-interest standard for life and annuity recommendations
• Producers who handle replacements governed by Regulation 60
• Producers who want elective credit built around New York Life/A&H law rather than generic topics
• Newly licensed Life/A&H producers preparing for their first New York renewal
• Agency owners and managers keeping their teams CE-compliant

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the New York CE Requirement?

This course provides 4 hours of Life, Accident & Health elective continuing education credit toward the 15 total credits most New York licensees must complete each two-year licensing period.

Because it is an elective course, it is important to know what it does not cover:

• It does not satisfy the mandatory 1-hour Insurance Law, 1-hour ethics and professionalism, or 1-hour diversity, inclusion, and elimination of bias topics — those must be completed separately.
• It does not include flood insurance instruction, which applies only to licensees who sell one or more property/casualty lines.

If you want your entire renewal in one purchase, the 15 Hour New York Life, Accident & Health Renewal Package includes this course, the other two parts, and all three mandatory topics for $39.

✅ New York Insurance Continuing Education Requirements

Under New York Insurance Law Section 2132, most New York insurance licensees must complete 15 credits of approved continuing education during each two-year licensing period once the license has been in effect for more than two years. For licenses renewing on or after April 1, 2022, Part 20 of the NYCRR requires that the 15 credits include:

• At least 1 hour of Insurance Law instruction
• At least 1 hour of ethics and professionalism instruction
• At least 1 hour of diversity, inclusion, and elimination of bias instruction
• At least 1 hour of flood insurance instruction, if licensed to sell one or more property/casualty lines
• At least 3 hours of enhanced flood insurance instruction, if selling flood insurance through the NFIP

Self-study and online courses require a passing grade on a final exam to receive credit. New York resident licensees must use a Department-approved provider organization, and all CE must be completed before the renewal or relicensing application is submitted. CE is generally not required for non-resident licensees who are CE-compliant in their home state.

How this course helps: This 4-hour course provides 4 hours of Life, Accident & Health elective credit toward the 15 total credits required for renewal. It does not satisfy the mandatory 1-hour Insurance Law, ethics and professionalism, or diversity topics, and it does not include flood instruction. Completing Parts 1, 2, and 3 supplies 12 elective hours; the three mandatory topics must still be completed separately — or get everything in the 15 Hour Life, Accident & Health Renewal Package.

✅ When Do New York Licensees Renew?

New York insurance licenses renew every two years, and expiration dates vary by licensee — check your license record in the DFS portal to confirm your exact date. Individual and TBA producer licenses expiring on the licensee's birthday can generally be renewed up to 180 days before expiration.

Because CE must be completed before you submit your renewal application, finish your credits early instead of racing your expiration date.

✅ How to Renew Your New York Insurance License

Step 1: Confirm Your License Record — Check your license type, lines of authority, and expiration date in the DFS portal.

Step 2: Confirm Your CE Requirements — Most licensees need 15 credits per cycle, including the three mandatory one-hour topics. If you also hold property/casualty lines, flood instruction requirements may apply as well.

Step 3: Enroll in This Course — Enroll in the 4 Hour Life, Accident & Health Insurance Compliance – Part 1 course for $19.99 and start immediately.

Step 4: Complete the Course Online — Work at your own pace, log in and out anytime, and pass the final exam to earn self-study credit.

Step 5: Receive Your Instant Certificate — Your certificate of completion is emailed to you the moment you finish.

Step 6: We Report Your Completion — 1st Choice CE reports your completion to New York within 24 hours, so the credit is on your record.

Step 7: Renew With the State — Renew online through NY LINX, the DFS portal, using your DFS ID with multi-factor authentication. Submit before your expiration date and confirm your renewed status afterward.
