When writing a date, i.e., "April 13, 2006," is a comma required after the year in all instances or are there situations where it is not necessary. I thought the year was always enclosed with a paren after the day and after the year. Thank you

Well, it wouldn't need it if it's on it's own line:
Date: November 30, 2006
If it's in a sentence, it might. If it is an independent or dependent clause it what will determine if you need a comma. (Basically, if you can removed it completely and the sentence is still intact use commas.)
Hope that helps!

On July 4, 1987, I tasted my first beer.
In this example, you need the comma because it sets off the prepositional phrase. It really depends on context.
