Here's what happened with me: I left one position in November 2008, started a new one in January 2009. I got 0 credit for Nov. 08, but got one month for Jan 09. In your case I assume you would get 0 months for Oct 09, but 1 month in Nov 09. In this case I would wait until June to apply. Or you can always apply earlier to see what gets accepted.
