April 2026, question 9

CBP's answer: B. B: 14

After reinstatement from a voluntary suspension, the credits needed for that triennial period are prorated at one credit for each complete remaining month until the period ends (111.102(b)). A triennial period starts on February 1 every third year (111.1), so the 2027-2030 period runs from February 1, 2027 to January 31, 2030. From a November 15, 2028 reinstatement, the complete remaining months are December 2028 through January 2030, which is 14, so B is right. She needs fewer than 36 because she was reinstated mid-period.
