Eligibility periods are fixed in 4-week periods.

Based on the past few posts, if TRIB is hearing early June : that makes sense....without a reopening, many of our miners likely filed for period 3, extending thru June 6....and are not likely going to rush back to work...therefore setting the stage for a June 7 or 8 reopening...just an observation..I could be right or wrong...we will know more in next 2 days....
