If an agent's appointment is terminated, how long do they have to be reappointed before their license is terminated?

The correct answer is 48 months. In Florida, if an agent’s appointment is terminated, they have a period of 48 months to be reappointed by a new insurer before their license becomes inactive and terminated. This timeframe allows agents sufficient opportunity to secure new appointments, ensuring they can continue their career in the insurance industry without a significant disruption.

This policy supports both agents and the insurance marketplace by providing flexibility for agents to navigate through potential job changes and the competitive nature of the industry. The 48-month window encourages agents to maintain their credentials and stay active in the field, thereby fostering a more engaged and knowledgeable workforce within the insurance sector.
