Is a live-streamed webinar “live” credit?

In nearly every state, yes — real-time attendance at a video broadcast is treated as live. The distinction that bites is watching the recording afterward.

The provider says “credit pending” — should I attend?

Yes if you have runway: approvals typically land 4–8 weeks after application. No if it’s the last hour before your deadline.

My state isn’t on the provider’s list — dead end?

Not necessarily — check your state’s reciprocity rule, then its self-submission process. Many “uncovered” programs convert with paperwork.

Do free webinars count the same as paid ones?

Credit rules are format- and accreditation-based, not price-based. A free accredited hour equals a paid accredited hour.

Where’s the authoritative answer for my state?

Your state bar’s MCLE page — always. Provider pages tell you what was filed; your bar tells you what counts.
