PRE-AUTHORIZED PAYMENT PLAN
What is PPP?
The Pre-Authorized Plan (PPP) is a pre-payment option allowing LPNs to pay their licensure renewal fee in advance, directly from their bank account. Enrolling in the program avoids having a large lump sum payment near the end of the year.
When does the PPP begin?
The PPP has a new withdrawal schedule each year beginning on
February 1, and ends on September 1.
Monthly withdrawals are set at $57.25.
Remember: You are prepaying for next year’s licensure.
For example, payments made in the current year are for the next licensure year.
