07 Effective Date - Overview
The effective date an
identifiable application turned in during FAA
business hours(g) is the same date it is received.
The effective date of an application turned in outside of FAA business hours is the NEXT
workday(g). The local office must date stamp the effective date on the application.
NOTE An application may be turned in outside of FAA business hours, and the applicant applies for CA or NA and MA. When this occurs, there may be TWO effective dates. Both effective dates must be date stamped on the application, and the corresponding program annotated next to each of the dates stamped.
An application may be received from a source other than FAA. When this occurs, the effective date of the application varies depending on the entity that referred the application. (See
Referred Application)
Any applicant may apply for benefits at any time. However, if an applicant is incarcerated at the time of application submission, potential eligibility cannot begin before their release date.
