   1. 1. “Day” means a calendar day;
   2. 2. “Working day” means Monday through Friday, excluding federal or Arizona state holidays;
   3. 3. The Department does not count the date of the act, event, notice, or default from which a designated time period begins to run as part of the time period; and
   4. 4. The Department counts the last day of the designated time period. When the day is a Saturday, Sunday, federal holiday or Arizona state holiday, the last day is the first working day following that day.

Documents sent by the Department are received by an applicant or recipient on the date sent to the applicant or recipient’s last known street or e-mail address, plus an additional five calendar days only when sent by U.S. mail.
