How we produce our articles
InfoBrief publishes short, practical explainers on money, government services, travel documents, and everyday how-tos. Every article follows the same standard.
Our standards
- Answer first. The direct answer appears in the opening lines and in a Key Takeaways box, followed by detail for readers who want it.
- Primary sources. We rely on official government sites (IRS, SSA, USPS, State Department, DOT, FTC, CFPB and others) and company documentation, and we link to them in a Sources section at the end of each article.
- No guessing on numbers. Fees, deadlines and limits change. Where a figure changes frequently we tell you to confirm it on the official site rather than risk being out of date.
- Updates. Each article shows a “Last updated” date. We review articles when the underlying rules change and on a rolling schedule.
- Corrections. If you spot an error, use our contact page. We fix confirmed errors promptly and note material changes.
