Please stay up to date with your SFN 750 or health care license renewals. If a renewal is not received by the due date, your qualified service provider (QSP) enrollment will close and you will need to reapply. Renewal reminders begin eight weeks in advance, so it is best to start the process right away. We kindly ask that you not contact the QSP Hub to request an extension, as SFN 750 extensions will not be granted. Your enrollment will close if the renewed document is not submitted timely.
