Under which circumstances are refunds issued for licensing?

Refunds for licensing in Minnesota are primarily issued under specific circumstances that align with the state's guidelines. One of the key circumstances is when an individual who holds a license passes away or becomes permanently disabled before the licensing effective date. This policy ensures that, in cases of tragic events like death or the onset of a permanent disability, individuals or their estates are not burdened with financial costs related to a license that cannot be utilized.

In contrast, other situations such as overpayment or voluntary cancellation can also lead to refunds, but they are not as directly tied to significant life events like option B. Non-attendance in classes typically does not merit a refund, as attendance policies usually stipulate different conditions for refunds. Similarly, unsatisfactory examination results usually do not qualify for refunds either, as they pertain to the performance on the examination rather than the licensing process itself. Thus, option B accurately captures the specific circumstances under which refunds are issued, focusing on significant life changes that render the license ineffective before it even begins.
