I’m an H-1B visa holder remaining in the USA, when are the latest improvements to the USCIS procedure applicable? With immediate effect, is that?

In the last week of September 2020, my filing for an I-94 extension was filed with USCIS. In the first week of October 2020, a new approval process reform (1 year approval for the 3rd party workplace) was issued.

My petition has been submitted with premium processing and RFE is a new status. Guidance, please.
