Editorial standards
This site covers programs people depend on to eat, see a doctor, and pay rent. A wrong sentence here can cost a family coverage. These are the standards every page is held to.
- Official sources only. Facts come from state agencies and federal program offices, cited on the page with access dates. Aggregators and blogs are never sources.
- No invented numbers. If an agency doesn't publish a limit or timeline, the page says so. We do not estimate, average, or infer.
- Visible freshness. Every fact page shows when its data was last verified — per state, not sitewide.
- Information, not advice. Pages explain rules and sequences; they never tell an individual what they qualify for. Decisions belong to the agencies we link.
- Independence. Independent guide — not affiliated with any government agency. No program or agency pays for placement; no page collects leads or applications.
- Named accountability. Every page is written by theBenefits Transfer Editorial Team and reviewed by Billy Reiner,Editor. Corrections go to[email protected]and take priority over new content.
