Because December 31, 2010 (the statutory deadline) is a Federal holiday, followed by Saturday, January 1, and Sunday January 2, petitions received on and before 11:59 PM EST, Monday, January 3, will be governed by the 2009 Amendments, and workers covered by those petitions may be eligible for the benefits and services provided by those Amendments. Petitions filed after that date and time will be governed under the prior law, and workers covered by those petitions may be eligible for the benefits and services provided under that prior law.
