Corrections Policy
Last updated: October 2026
Accuracy matters to us and to our readers. When we make a mistake, we correct it openly and promptly.
What we correct
We correct errors of fact, such as a wrong date, deadline, dollar amount, name, statute, or court; misattributed quotes; broken or incorrect official links; and statements that are misleading because important context was missing.
How corrections appear
- Corrections. When we fix a factual error, we update the article and add a note at the end explaining what was changed and when. For example: “Correction, October 20, 2026: An earlier version of this article gave the wrong claim deadline. The deadline is November 30, 2026.”
- Clarifications. When an article was accurate but could be misread, we add a clarification note.
- Updates. When facts change after publication, such as a new court ruling or a revised settlement deadline, we update the article and note what changed. We do not treat routine updates as corrections.
- Minor fixes. We fix spelling, grammar, and formatting errors that do not change meaning without adding a note.
Removing content
We rarely remove published articles. If we do, for example because an article cannot be corrected or poses a legal or safety risk, we explain the removal where it is appropriate to do so.
How to report an error
If you believe something we published is wrong, please contact us and include:
- The article title or link
- What you believe is incorrect
- Any source that supports the correction, such as an official notice, court record, or statute
We review every report. We may not reply to each message individually, but we will correct verified errors.
