Which statement about CEUs beyond 20 is correct?

• A. No, those hours are not credited in the next biennial period.
• B. All CEUs count toward the next biennial period.
• C. They are carried over to the following year's CEU requirement.
• D. They are refunded to the licensee.

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is that CEU credits are tied to the renewal cycle and do not roll over to the next cycle. In New Jersey, a hearing aid dispenser must complete 20 CEUs within each two-year biennial period to renew. Any CEU hours earned beyond that minimum do not count toward the next biennial period; they are not carried over, refunded, or credited to the following cycle. They simply don’t transfer to the next term. That’s why the statement that those hours are not credited in the next biennial period is the correct description.
