If TWIC holders choose to use comparable TWIC STAs, when will their HMEs expire?

The HME will be issued with the same expiration date as the individual’s TWIC STA. Therefore, individuals should consider the expiration date of their current TWIC STA to determine if it is cost effective to apply for a comparable HME STA.
