Editorial Policy

Our editorial standards are designed for accuracy, transparency, and usefulness — especially for topics involving government benefits and financial assistance.

How information is researched

We start with official U.S. government sources (.gov), agency publications, and publicly available program documentation. Trending news may inform which topics we cover, but program rules always come from government agencies.

  • Primary sources: federal agency websites, Benefits.gov, Grants.gov, USA.gov
  • State agency pages for state-specific program guides
  • We do not copy or republish third-party articles

How government sources are checked

Before publication, guides link to the relevant official program page. When agencies update rules, we update our summaries and verification dates.

Review and update schedule

Program guides include a last-reviewed date. High-traffic and time-sensitive topics (student aid, disaster assistance, benefits changes) are prioritized for review. Daily automated program articles are generated from current trend signals and official source references.

Handling outdated or discontinued programs

If a program ends or changes materially, we update or archive affected pages and direct readers to the current official resource.

AI-assisted content

Some program explainers use AI-assisted drafting with human-defined templates, mandatory official source citations, internal linking, and structured FAQ sections. All pages are reviewed against our source attribution requirements before publication.

Corrections

If you find outdated or incorrect information, contact us through /contact and we will review and update the page.
