Q:
retroactive laurels for January monthly?
A:
I don’t believe anyone is getting Laurels for Janurary so it doesnt matter if you already completed it before the patch or not.
February will be the first month with Laurels awarded for the Monthly.
There will be no laurels awarded for the January monthly achievement. Laurels will be awarded for monthly achievements starting in February.

Arenanet lies.
No, there is no need: I finished my monthly yesterday and didn’t get any laurels for it. So I’m guessing no one has gotten any from finishing this monthly.
EDIT: Aww, beaten to it.
