Source hierarchy

For government benefits, unemployment, retirement, and employment-process topics, we prioritize the responsible government agency and other primary sources. Secondary sources may be used to add practical context, but they should not replace controlling guidance.

Career-transition content should distinguish general strategy from requirements that vary by employer, jurisdiction, plan, or individual circumstance.

Review and updating

  • Pages identify when they were last reviewed or materially updated.
  • Links and time-sensitive claims are checked when a page is revised.
  • Dates are not changed merely to make unchanged content appear new.
  • Quantitative claims require a named source or a documented FedUp.work methodology.
  • Legal, financial, and benefit information includes appropriate limits and referrals to official guidance.

AI-assisted work

Automation may help organize research, identify unclear language, or draft working copy. Public content is still reviewed for relevance, accuracy, sourcing, and fit with FedUp.work’s audience before publication. We do not treat generated text as a source of fact.

Corrections

If you find an outdated link, factual error, missing context, or unclear disclosure, email support@fedup.work with the page URL and a short explanation. We review correction requests and update material errors as appropriate.
