Our Commitment to Accuracy
We understand that information related to financial support, welfare benefits, and government policies can significantly impact people’s lives. That’s why we take fact-checking seriously. Every piece of content published on our website goes through a detailed verification process to ensure the information is correct, clearly sourced, and up to date.
Sources We Use
To fact-check our content, we rely on a wide range of authoritative and reputable sources, including:
- Official government websites and public portals
- Verified press releases and policy documents
- Trusted news organizations and government media outlets
- Legislative and regulatory bodies
- Academic and research institutions where applicable
We always aim to cross-reference multiple reliable sources before publishing any claim or data.
Review and Verification Process
Before any article is published:
- Our writers conduct in-depth research using trustworthy sources.
- Editors review every article for factual consistency, clarity, and completeness.
- Any statistics, payment dates, eligibility criteria, or program details are verified against official or primary sources.
- Articles are regularly updated as new developments or corrections become available.
If we are unsure about a claim or piece of data, we either omit it or clearly mark it as unverified until further confirmation is obtained.
