Sec. 404.3  General provisions.

    (a) Effect of cross references. The cross references in the 
regulations in this part 404 to other portions of the regulations, when 
the word see is used, are made only for convenience and shall be given 
no legal effect.
    (b) Periods of limitation ending on nonwork days. Pursuant to the 
provisions of section 216(j) of the act, effective September 13, 1960, 
where any provision of title II, or any provision of another law of the 
United States (other than the Internal Revenue Code of 1954) relating to 
or changing the effect of title II, or any regulation of the 
Commissioner issued under title II, provides for a period within which 
an act is required to be done which affects eligibility for or the 
amount of any benefit or payment under this title or is necessary to 
establish or protect any rights under this title, and such period ends 
on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal legal holiday or on any other day all 
or part of which is declared to be a nonwork day for Federal employees 
by statute or Executive Order, then such act shall be considered as done 
within such period if it is done on the first day thereafter which is 
not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday or any other day all or part of 
which is declared to be a nonwork day for Federal employees either by 
statute or Executive Order. For purposes of this paragraph, the day on 
which a period ends shall include the final day of any extended period 
where such extension is authorized by law or by the Commissioner 
pursuant to law. Such extension of any period of limitation does not 
apply to periods during which benefits may be paid for months prior to 
the month an application for such benefits is filed pursuant to Sec. 
404.621, or to periods during which an application for benefits may be 
accepted as such pursuant to Sec. 404.620.
