What is the endorsement fee in the first renewal year?

• A. 55
• B. 110
• C. 180
• D. 20

Answer: (B)

The question tests understanding of how the endorsement component is charged at renewal. In New Jersey, when renewing a hearing aid dispenser license, there is an endorsement fee, and the schedule specifies that in the first renewal year this amount is 110 dollars. This reflects the combined cost the board assigns for renewing the license with the endorsement in that first cycle. The other amounts don’t match the board’s first-year endorsement fee: 55 would correspond to a smaller renewal amount without the endorsement, 180 is higher than the listed first-year figure, and 20 is a minor processing-like fee not representing the endorsement charge. So, 110 dollars is the correct first-renewal endorsement amount.
