(a) Forms. Applications for a relocation allowance shall be filed in accordance with this subpart E and on forms which shall be furnished by the State agency.
(b) Submittal.

(1) The 425th day after the date of the certification under which the individual is covered, or the 425th day after the date of the individual's last total separation, whichever is later; or
(2) The 182d day after the concluding date of training approved under subpart C of this part 617, or approved under the regulations superseded by this part 617.
