If the last day of the month falls on Sunday, the "LSD" (Last Signing Date) is the preceding Monday,so funding can happen on Friday, the last banking day in the month.
If the last day of the month falls on a Monday, and that day is NOT a holiday, then the LSD is the preceding Wednesday, as the 3-day rescission would end at midnight Saturday, funding can be on the following Monday and still be within the same month.
(All the above assumes no intervening holidays between LSD and funding date.)
The easy "Rule of Thumb" is to subtract 4 from the last day of the month. If there is an intervening Sunday or Holiday, subtract another day.
Thus, for January, March, May, July, August, October and December, the last day is the 31st. However, in reality you need to see when the last FUNDING day is. For August 2005, that day is Wednesday, the 31st, which means the RTC expiration would be Tuesday, the 30th. Counting backwards three more days (skipping Sunday as it is not a rescission day), brings you to Friday, the 26th as the LSD.
In July, 2005, the last day of the month (the 31st) fell on a Sunday, so the last FUNDING day was Friday the 29th (except for those lenders who fund on Saturday). Which meant the RTC expiration would be Thursday, the 28th. Counting backwards three more days, brings you to Monday, the 25th as the LSD.
December 2005 is going to somewhat problematic since Christmas is on Sunday (12/25) it is already not counted as a day of rescission. Monday, 12/26 IS NOT A HOLIDAY for rescission purposes, even though many businesses and the Federal Gov't will be closed that day. (Only the ACTUAL holiday day is not counted. Observed days are counted.) The last day of the month (12/31) falls on Saturday, so the last FUNDING day is Friday, 12/30, meaning RTC expiration must be on Thursday, 12/29. Counting backwards 3 days brings you to Monday, 12/26 as the LSD.
