ANNUITY REQUIREMENT

Those who have completed an annuity training course approved by the department prior to 01/01/2022, are given the option of either a new one-time 4 hour course or an additional one-time 1 hour course. Producers who obtain a life insurance license on or after the 01/01/2022 must complete the new one-time 4 hour course before selling annuities. Compliance with another state’s training requirements that are substantially similar to this requirement will be deemed in compliance with Mississippi requirement.
