English term or phrase: I will issue a one time payment through...
Dear XXX:

The last work status form the department received from you was on 08/13/2021.
We must receive a completed and signed work status form every 30 days to continue benefits.
I will issue a one time payment through 10/15/2021. Please complete and sign the attached form to ensure that further payments are not delayed...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Does it mean that the payment will be issued on that day OR does it mean that the payment/benefit will cover the period until and including that day?

neutral  philgoddard: I'm not sure this is correct. It doesn't say "for the period through". It's oddly expressed, and I think it could mean "by".

agree  Tina Vonhof (X): The entire period including that final day.
