Jared is planning a formal marketing/sales event for October 24. While it is strongly recommended that Jared reports his event at least 14 calendar days in advance, what is the last date the Event Request Form can be submitted to UnitedHealthcare?

• A. October 24
• B. October 17
• C. October 10
• D. October 31

Answer: (B)

When a deadline requires reporting at least 14 calendar days in advance, you determine the last submission date by counting backward 14 days from the event date. For an event on October 24, subtracting 14 days gives October 10, so that would be the latest date to submit the form. The date October 17 would apply if the event were on October 31 (since 31 minus 14 equals 17). So, with the event on October 24, the correct latest submission date is October 10; if the scenario assumed October 31, October 17 would be the deadline.
