When using the Fire system, at what point in transmitting a Form 8955-SSA has the deadline been met? When the status is "Good, not released", is that considered a filing that met the due date? Or is it ten days later, when the file is released?

When I spoke with the IRS when I first started using the FIRE system for the 8955-SSA (in 2011?), they told me that the "date transmitted" is used for the "filing date". It takes a day or two for the system to verify the data (format only, I think) and then the status goes to "Good, Not Released". They do not send the information to the SSA every day, but periodically. They initially told me they do it once a month, but it seems like it occurs much sooner (like weeks). When they actually send it to the SSA, the status will be changed to "Good, Released". All through this process, the "date transmitted" doesn't change, and represents the "filing date".
