Is the license valid within the 30 days after expiration?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only with temporary permit
• D. Only with board approval

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is that there is a grace period after expiration during which licensure remains valid for renewal. In New Jersey, if a hearing aid dispenser license expires, there is a 30-day window in which you can renew and the license is treated as active for that renewal period. This means you don’t lose licensure or have an automatic lapse during that first 30 days as long as renewal is submitted within the window. No temporary permit or extra board approval is needed to keep the license valid during this grace period. If you miss that 30-day window, then the license would no longer be valid and you’d need to follow reinstatement or reapplication procedures per board rules.
