Which of the following will make the Agent ineligible for retention on the ARC agency list?

• A. The ARC accredited agent's authorized agency location does not have the requisite licenses of the jurisdiction in which it is located.
• B. The agent operates in other states without permission.
• C. The agency fails to complete annual training.
• D. The agent uses non-ARC carriers.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that staying on the ARC agency list hinges on having the proper licensing to operate in the agency’s jurisdiction. ARC requires each accredited agent’s authorized location to possess the requisite licenses for that jurisdiction. If those licenses are missing or not valid, ARC cannot verify that the agent is legally authorized to conduct business, so the agent cannot be retained on the agency list. This licensing requirement is a fundamental eligibility condition.

Other issues—operating in other states without permission, not completing annual training, or using non-ARC carriers—are serious compliance concerns, but they do not, by themselves, define eligibility for retention in the same way that missing licenses do.
