There defined behaviour to default values for a date at the moment. I guess there could be.

Are you assuming a 1 for day?

So the solution to this is remove the format

Timeliness.parse('Jan09', format: 'mmmyy')

The day that is used will be taken from the configured date default values in Timeliness.configuration.date_for_time_type where the default is lambda { Time.now }

The specifying the format prevents the default values being used in the current gem logic.
