What is the maximum allowable time for an ARC accredited agency to notify ARC of a change in the employment status of its ARC Specialist Qualifier (ASQ)?

• A. 7 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 60 days
• D. 45 days

Answer: (D)

Keeping ARC’s credential records accurate requires timely reporting of who is authorized to perform ARC-related duties. When an ARC Specialist Qualifier’s employment status changes, the accredited agency must notify ARC within a set timeframe to ensure the ASQ’s status, permissions, and related records are current. The required window is 45 days, which helps ARC promptly update eligibility for duties, tracking, and any associated commissions or training records. Reporting within this period prevents outdated information from affecting the ASQ’s ability to work under ARC and keeps the agency’s credentialing in good standing.
