I appreciate that fees haven’t changed in 13 years. Everything goes up eventually. Would you consider a reduced fee for retirees? I worked hard to earn my credential and keep my reputation pristine. I retired 3 years ago and, while I don’t see myself working in the field in the future, I applied for Emeritus status this year because I want to be able to refer to myself as a CPA, albeit retired, but escape the onerous cost of 40 CPE credits each year. A fee of $100 per year will make me second guess keeping the license. My income consists of Social Security and a small fixed-income annuity. One hundred dollars is a scrutiny point for me now. Furthermore, it doesn’t seem fair to have worked so long and so hard in a profession only to be required to give up the title when one retires.

While I understand that prices rise across the board - if you raise our fees I would hope that we would receive additional benefits.

At a minimum I would hope there would be an included Ethics CPE that would cover the requirement. 

We are in a time where there is a decrease in Licensee activity and interest - raising fees only makes that worse. Everyone is feeling the squeeze 

What is the yearly travel limits for Virginia state workers? It is on the taxpayers.
