About Inactive Status

When the licensee is not working in occupational therapy an inactive license is an option. With an inactive license one may not practice occupational therapy at all, not PRN and not as a consultant. Someone with an inactive license must still renew the license and obtain 30 hours of continuing education. However the cost is half that of the regular license. It may be renewed up to 3 renewals or 6 years, and then the licensee must return to active status.

The licensee on inactive status is still part of the continuing education audit. The licensee can return to active status with a letter and the payment of the full renewal fee.

The licensee with an active or inactive license is not required to work. However if the licensee does work he or she must observe all Board rules.
