How is the information researched?

The guides rely on enacted law, government publications, state agency pages and relevant court documents.

We do not use a competitor’s answer as a legal determination, claim to be the first work-rule checker or invent state rules for missing entries. See Sources for the review date, source versions and unresolved issues.

What should I do when this site and a notice differ?

Ask the issuing state agency to explain the notice and follow its response or appeal instructions promptly.

Bring the conflicting source to the agency’s attention. Do not assume an independent guide overrides your written deadline, and do not end coverage based on a website result. A helper or representative can assist you through the state’s official process without sending case records to us.
