			!'''Receipt Date'''
			!'''Effective Date'''
			!'''Example'''
			\|-
			\|If the insurer receives the '''Application Form''' and '''full payment''' within '''10 calendar days''' from the application date (application date + 9 days)
			\|The effective date will be '''12:01 a.m. (local time) on the next calendar day''' after the application date.
			\|If the map revision was effective on '''January 5''', the application date is '''May 13''', and the insurer receives the payment on '''May 17''', the effective date is '''May 14'''.
			\|-
			\|If the '''Application Form''' and '''full payment''' are mailed by '''certified mail''' within '''4 calendar days''' from the application date (application date + 3 days), regardless of when the insurer receives them
			\|The effective date will be '''12:01 a.m. (local time) on the next calendar day''' after the application date.
			\|If the map revision was effective on '''January 5''', the application date is '''May 13''', and the agent mails the payment via certified mail on '''May 15''', then the effective date is '''May 14''', even if the insurer receives the payment on '''May 26'''.
			\|-
			\|If the insurer receives the '''Application Form''' and '''full payment''' after '''10 calendar days''' from the application date '''and''' the payment was NOT mailed by certified mail within 4 calendar days
			\|The effective date will be '''12:01 a.m. (local time) on the next calendar day''' after the insurer’s receipt date.
			\|If the map revision was effective on '''January 5''', the application date is '''May 13''', and the insurer receives the payment on '''May 28''', then the earliest effective date is '''May 29'''.
