When you are making decisions about Social Security, Medicare or other benefits, you need information you can rely on. Here is how USA Benefits Now earns that trust.
Who We Are
USA Benefits Now is an independent news site that explains U.S. government benefit programs in plain language. Our articles are written by a named author, Mario Marie, whose background includes four years of professional experience, including work in the banking sector. You can read more on our Our Authors page.
What We Do
- We start with official sources. Our reporting is based on information from the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the IRS, the USDA and state agencies, and we link to those sources in our articles.
- We check the numbers. Payment amounts, dates and percentages are verified against the official release before we publish.
- We show when content was updated. Benefit rules and figures change, so we update articles and display the date.
- We correct mistakes openly. If we find an error, we fix it and explain the change under our Corrections Policy.
- We explain, not exaggerate. We aim to write headlines and summaries that match what the official sources actually say, and we do not promise payments that have not been announced.
What We Do Not Do
- We are not a government website and are not affiliated with the SSA, CMS, the IRS or any government agency.
- We do not provide legal, tax or financial advice. Our articles are general information only.
- We never ask readers for Social Security numbers, bank details or payments.
- We do not let advertisers or affiliate partners decide what we publish.
How We Make Money
USA Benefits Now is supported by advertising (including Google AdSense) and may include affiliate links in some articles. Ads and affiliate relationships do not change how we research or write.
