Pre-Payment Plan

What Is PPP?

The Pre-Payment Plan (PPP) is a pre-payment option allowing LPNs to pay their licensure renewal fee in advance, directly from their bank account. Enrolling in the program avoids having a large lump sum payment near the end of the year. You can watch the video below to learn more, or keep scrolling to read about the program.

As of 2026, the PPP withdrawal schedule changed from March 1 through to October 1, which differs from the schedule described in the video below. 

When does the PPP begin?

The PPP has a new withdrawal schedule each year beginning on March 1, and ending on October 1.  

Monthly withdrawals are $57.25.
