- Month-level reporting or filtering is needed
States
- Default - Normal state

Format

Accessibility

<label>element - Provide clear format instructions if needed
- Ensure keyboard navigability for the picker interface
- When disabled, include
aria-disabled="true" - Consider the needs of users who may prefer direct text entry
