Editorial Policy

Claim What's Yours is an independent consumer-information publisher. This policy describes how we research, source-check, review, and update what we publish.

Source-first

• We prioritize official sources (.gov, program administrators, regulators).
• We link to the official source so readers can verify and act.
• We add a visible last-checked date to every article.

No misleading money language

• We do not promise guaranteed money.
• We do not say "everyone qualifies."
• We tell readers when eligibility rules apply.
• We warn readers about scams, fees, and impostor sites.

AI-assistance disclosure

Our editorial desks use AI-assisted tools to help discover, organize, draft, and refresh content. Articles must be source-backed and reviewed before publication. We do not present AI-assisted editorial desks as undisclosed human reporters. See each author's profile for their disclosure.

Review & corrections

• Sensitive content is reviewed by the editorial team before publishing.
• We update or remove articles when programs change. Readers can report errors via our corrections page.

Independence & advertising

• We do not charge users to access public benefit information.
• Sponsored content and ads — when they appear — will be clearly labeled and kept separate from official-source links. See our advertising disclosure.
