    2/15/16
    (if today is February 19, 2016).
  • Enter 3 or 4 digits: The system interprets this as month and day, adding the current year. Example: Entering
    215
    becomes
    2/15/16
    .
  • For months with fewer than 31 days, entering
    31
    automatically selects the last day of the month.
