You technically still have those cfi ratings you just cannot actively use them bc they aren't "active". Just like a type rating that has lapsed. You still have it but you can't act as a pilot on one of those types without a currency check ride. Mine lapsed and I still list that I have those ratings because if you look up your airmen registration it will show that you hold them, even if you cannot utilize them.
