I would like to get my license for health and life insurance but in 1988 i was convicted of welfare fraud. by working and receving for 2 months. in illinois, I moved to missouri in 1998 the court had ordered me to pay back the money and gave me probation for 2 years. I did not pay back the money. I would like to know if I now have a chance to get a licence. Now that I am 58 years old? will I be denied?
i would like an answer as soon as possible. I have been studying for this test for 6 months off and on and now i just about think i am ready I would just like to know if i have a chance.

If your conviction in Illinois was for a felony, that crime is covered under the federal VIOLENT CRIME CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ACT of 1994, and you may be prohibited under 18 USC 1033 from being employed in the financial services industry, unless you obtain a CONSENT WAIVER from the insurance regulator in your state. There is no statute of limitations on when the offense occurred, so it makes no difference that you are now age 58.
If your conviction was for a misdemeanor, then you will still have to disclose it in your license application and it can still prevent you from being licensed under most states' laws.

You can be assured that this will be discovered when you apply for a license. If you are even eligible to be licensed, until you pay back the money you owe the state of Illinois, and probably 22 years worth of interest, too, your license will be denied.
So before you apply for a license in your state, demonstrate that you are now a responsible citizen, not a deadbeat, and PAY THE MONEY TO ILLINOIS. Until then, even I would consider you to be, as every state's insurance code says: A person lacking in integrity, and not worthy of the license being sought.
