Retirement Designation
Retirement Designation
When you earned your Certified Case Manager® credential, you joined the best of the best.
Stay in the game as long as you can—on your own terms.
The Commission™'s CCM-R™ retirement credential allows non-practicing CCMs to remain flexible about their future. CCM-R permits retired CCMs to regain full CCM® status without re-taking the exam. If your retirement status changes and you wish to regain the use of your CCM®, you would simply need to meet the renewal criteria and pay the renewal fee at the time of reinstatement.
Choosing the CCM-R leaves the door open to reactivate your CCM® in case you want to return to the workforce within your renewal period (5 years from the expiration date). For example, if you return to full-time work, part-time work, volunteering, mentoring, or consulting, you would have the option to renew without re-taking the exam.
- A CCM® may go into retirement status up to nine months after the expiration date on their certificate. If a CCM® has an expired certification and chooses to gain retirement status in that nine-month timeframe, the CCM® certification start date will begin on the date of payment.
- If you have an active CCM® certification and choose to retire your credential, the CCM-R start date will begin the day after your current certification expires.
- If you are providing consulting or other services using your CCM® certification, you should NOT select the retirement designation, but should continue to maintain the CCM® certification.
