Security Deposit deadline - California

Just curious .....

A California landlord has 21 days to provide a final accounting and return the balance of the resident’s security deposit. The time begins when the landlord regains possession of the property.

Does this mean the tenant must actually receive the funds by the 21st day, or is it like filing taxes, where a postmark serves as proof of mailing?
