Which statement is false regarding inactive agents in Mississippi?

An inactive agent in Mississippi is not allowed to solicit new business. When an agent's status is marked as inactive, they are essentially put on hold and do not have the legal authority to engage in any business activities related to insurance, including soliciting new clients or policies. This restriction is in place to ensure that only active agents, who are actively engaged in the insurance business and meeting all necessary continuing education and regulatory requirements, can conduct insurance transactions.

The other statements about inactive agents are accurate within the context of Mississippi's regulations. An inactive agent can indeed reapply for active status if they decide to resume their activities. They are also permitted to maintain their license without engaging in active business, but they will not earn commissions since they cannot participate in transactions as an inactive agent.
