Section 8:43I-3.10 - Extension of time for persons renewing certifications

(a) The Department may issue an extension of time for individuals seeking to renew their certification as a personal care assistant.

The personal care assistant must complete a fingerprint appointment prior to the expiration date listed on the current certification document. Extensions are processed by the employer to the Department. Extension requests must be on facility stationery and contain the name of the employer, the name of the personal care assistant, the personal care assistant's social security number, current certification expiration date, and certification number.

(b) Extensions are valid for 120 days, and are deemed revoked if the personal care assistant is disqualified from certification in accordance with this chapter.

(c) Each employer shall retain a copy of the extension authorization on file to prove current certification status of the personal care assistant.
