Status changes and effective dates

This may seem like a dumb question but I have two answers and want to know which answer is correct. I have administered all status changes, except birth, with the change beginning the first of the next month, meaning prospective rather than retroactive to the date the event occured. So, if the employee marries May 15 and adds his wife, we would make the change June 1, not back to May 15. I'm now at a company that makes all changes retroactive and again, I've never been taught that way. Can anyone point me to the regs that states anything about when changes should occur?
