410.226 Periods for which claims are effective.
Benefits are payable for full calendar months.
If the claimant meets all the requirements for entitlement to benefits in the same calendar month in which his application is filed, the application will be effective for the whole month. If the claimant first meets the requirements for entitlement to benefits in a month after the month of actual filing but before a final administrative or judicial decision is rendered on his claim, his claim will be deemed to have been effectively filed in such first month of entitlement.
