USPS Postmark Rule Changes Could Affect Important Mail Deadlines
The USPS has changed its postmarking process to reflect when mail is processed rather than when it is dropped off, potentially affecting deadline-sensitive mail like tax returns and ballots. To ensure timely delivery, senders are advised to use in-person mailing options, request manual postmarks, or opt for online submissions when possible. This change aims to streamline operations but may cause delays in meeting deadlines.
