Insurance Producer License Exam Reimbursement For Eligible Veterans
In 2017, The Maryland Insurance Administration was approved for participation in the GI Bill Reimbursement Program. The innovative program, spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, reimburses veterans for the costs of approved licensing and certification tests required to become a Maryland insurance producer. In order to qualify for the reimbursement, veterans must be eligible for benefits, have remaining entitlement to benefits, and their delimiting date must not have passed. The Department of Veteran Affairs is able to pay the cost of tests that are not passed, those that are retaken after not being passed, and those that are required to be recertified or to renew a license.
To apply for test fee reimbursement and learn more about the program visit the Maryland Insurance Administration. Veterans should attach a copy of the test results to the application. If test results are not available, then a copy of the payment receipt must be attached.
