More details to this question:
Hi, working as an independent contractor for a company, and didn’t receive the contractor agreement until 12/21. I started working on 12/1. The agreement says 12/1, but I have proof they sent the contract on 12/21. Does that mean that I was unprotected from 12/1 through 12/21?

During the period from 12/1-12/21, yes, you were working unprotected by an agreement. However, if the contract's effective date is listed as 12/1, then even if it wasn't sent or signed until 12/21, it would still protect you for all work as of 12/1 once it has been signed. I would highly advise having an attorney review the document before you sign it.
