FACT CHECK POLICY

At Mikkon-ADHCC.com, accuracy is the foundation of our finance content. Readers rely on our articles to understand government benefits, tax updates, banking changes, and financial trends.

This Fact Check Policy explains how we verify information, how we correct errors, and how we ensure that every article reflects trustworthy and reliable data.

Our Approach to Verification

Clear and Systematic Process

Before any article goes live, it goes through a structured verification process.
This ensures that every claim, statistic, statement, or update is supported by dependable sources.

Our fact-checking approach focuses on:

  • Accuracy of financial details
  • Clarity of explanations
  • Transparency of information
  • Reliability of sources

Avoiding Misleading Information

We never publish rumors, manipulated data, or unconfirmed reports.
If a financial update is unverified, we clearly state that it is subject to change.

Types of Sources We Use

Primary Sources

Primary sources are the backbone of our verification process.
These include:

  • Government websites
  • IRS publications
  • Federal and state authorities
  • Official public notices
  • Recognized banking institutions
  • Financial regulatory bodies

Secondary Sources

We also reference secondary sources to cross-check facts. These include:

  • Established news organizations
  • Financial research firms
  • Industry publications
  • Expert interviews

We use secondary sources strictly for supporting details, never as the sole source of critical information.

What We Avoid

We do not use:

  • Anonymous claims
  • Unverified social media posts
  • Unsupported predictions
  • Low-quality blogs
  • Clickbait or exaggerated content

Fact Checking for Financial Topics

Government Payments and Benefits

Information about stimulus checks, Social Security, IRS updates, or government benefits must be:

  • Confirmed through official documents
  • Checked against multiple government sources
  • Updated when new announcements are made

We make sure the details regarding eligibility, payment dates, or program changes are correctly presented.

Banking and Credit Cards

For banking articles, we verify:

  • Policy updates
  • Fees and charges
  • Interest rates
  • Settlement developments
  • Reward program adjustments

We confirm these details using official notices from banks and financial institutions.

Taxes and Regulations

Tax rules change often.
Each tax-related piece is cross-checked with:

  • IRS bulletins
  • Federal publications
  • State tax authorities

If a rule is unclear, we mention that official clarification is pending.

Accuracy in Numbers and Claims

Handling Data and Statistics

We double-check numerical information such as:

  • Payment amounts
  • Income limits
  • Increases or reductions
  • Eligibility figures

These numbers are reviewed to ensure they match the official content published by recognized authorities.

Interpreting Government Documents

Government documents can be complex. We break them down into simple terms while keeping the original meaning accurate and unchanged.

Editorial Team Responsibilities

Writer Responsibilities

Writers must:

  • Conduct thorough research
  • Use credible sources
  • Avoid editing or altering facts
  • Submit source links with each article

Editor Responsibilities

Editors ensure that:

  • Content aligns with verified information
  • Confusing or unclear statements are corrected
  • Unsupported claims are removed
  • Data matches official references
  • Updates are researched before editing older articles

Final Quality Review

Before publishing, the article goes through a final review where we check:

  • Consistency
  • Clarity
  • Accuracy
  • Relevance

Transparency With Readers

Mentioning Sources

We provide clear references or context whenever needed, especially for complex financial topics.
If exact official documents cannot be quoted, we still explain the basis of the information.

Handling Unconfirmed Information

Sometimes financial topics trend before official announcements.
If we choose to cover these, we clearly state:

  • That the update is unverified
  • That formal confirmation is pending
  • That details may change

Error Handling and Corrections

How We Address Mistakes

Despite our best efforts, errors may occasionally occur.
If we identify an issue, we correct it as soon as possible.

Types of corrections include:

  • Fixing inaccurate numbers
  • Updating outdated details
  • Adding missing information
  • Adjusting misleading statements

Reader Feedback

Readers play an important role in pointing out inaccuracies.
If a reader contacts us with a correction request, our team reviews it quickly.

Correction Transparency

Significant corrections may include an update note in the content itself, so readers understand what changed.

Updating Existing Articles

Regular Updates

Finance evolves fast.
We update older articles regularly, especially when:

  • IRS rules change
  • Government programs update
  • Bank policies shift
  • New financial laws are introduced

Archiving Outdated Content

If any post becomes fully irrelevant or outdated beyond correction, we archive or remove it to prevent confusion.

Ethical Standards

No Influence From Advertisers

If we ever work with advertisers, they will never influence:

  • Our facts
  • Our claims
  • Our financial interpretations

No Hidden Bias

We avoid promoting financial products unless their benefits are backed by verified information.

Commitment to Trust

Why This Matters

Finance affects people’s daily lives, and misinformation can create confusion or financial loss.
Our strict fact-checking standards protect readers from misleading or incomplete information.

Building Long-Term Credibility

By maintaining transparency, accuracy, and responsibility, we aim to build long-term trust with our audience.
