EAD Period of Validity

Can someone shed light on the validity period on their EADs?

Is it from the approval date, before that (retroactive) or from the day they send it out to you?

cheers

It is approval dates.

The first year my husband got his EAD our ASC was waaay behind (again) and it took 4 months just to get the biometrics done. A few weeks later it was approved (approved in Feb) but was backdated to December, when MSC was actually "done" with it. At the time I was furious that they cheated us out of 2 months. Just one of those glitches of dealing with USCIS. Since then, we have been getting the EAD within a reasonable amount of time.
