ADM.3:4.3 - Separate the relevant times

Distinguish these times when their difference can change the next action:

Time questionWhat it identifies
When did the relevant act or event happen?The decision, notice, transfer or other occurrence relied on.
When does the relation or condition begin, change or end?The effective boundary under the applicable rule.
When was the event observed or learned about?The evidence or participant knowledge available at that moment.
When was the record created or corrected?The history of the assertion or description used to represent the condition.

This is a set of different questions, not a requirement to create four database fields. If the same supplied fact answers several of them and no distinction changes the use, say so simply. Where a deadline crosses time zones or a suspension begins within a day, recover the rule’s actual time basis before judging the boundary.
