Which of the following statements is FALSE?

In the context of EMS certification renewal, it is crucial to understand the specific requirements for different time frames after a certification has expired. The statement indicating that EMS certificants who are expired for more than one year must follow late re-certification requirements is indeed accurate. This means such certificants would need to meet specific criteria and complete additional steps to regain their active status, consistent with the regulations governing EMS certification.

It is important to note that those whose certifications expire within a certain timeframe—like within 90 days or between 91 days to one year—incur varying requirements and fees for renewal, including non-refundable fees and different processes, which distinguishes their situations from those whose certifications have lapsed for over a year. Understanding these distinctions helps ensure compliance with state regulations regarding EMS certification.
