Accuracy is the foundation of everything we publish. Here is how we fact-check.
Primary sources first
We verify eligibility rules, income limits, benefit amounts, and deadlines against official government sources — agency websites (.gov), the Federal Register, IRS publications, CMS, USDA FNS, HHS, and SSA — and reputable institutions.
Dated and current
Programs change often. Each article shows when it was last updated, and we revise figures when new guidelines are released.
Review before publishing
Before a guide is marked complete, its material claims and links are checked against its cited official sources. We do not claim independent subject-matter or expert review unless a named, verifiable reviewer performed it.
