JustGotLaidOff.org is committed to providing accurate, practical, and up-to-date information. We research our content carefully, but mistakes can happen. Laws change, government agencies update their procedures, links stop working, and occasionally something is simply wrong.
If you find a possible error, we want to know about it.
How to Report an Error
Please email [email protected] and include:
- The title or web address of the page
- The information you believe is incorrect
- Why you believe it is incorrect
- A link to an official or reliable source, if you have one
You do not need to be an attorney, policy expert, or professional fact-checker to report a concern. If something appears wrong, unclear, outdated, or misleading, send it our way.
How Corrections Are Handled
We will review reported errors and compare the disputed information with reliable sources. For legal, legislative, benefits, unemployment, tax, and government-program information, we give priority to primary sources such as statutes, regulations, official government websites, agency publications, and court decisions.
When a correction is needed, we will update the page as soon as reasonably possible.
Minor errors, such as spelling mistakes, formatting problems, or broken links, may be corrected without adding a public correction notice.
Significant factual errors will be corrected on the page and may include a note explaining:
- What information was incorrect
- What was changed
- When the correction was made
We will not remove an accurate correction notice simply because the original mistake is embarrassing. Pretending it never happened does not make the information more trustworthy.
Updates Are Not Always Corrections
Some content changes because the underlying information has changed. A government agency may revise its application process, a new law may take effect, or a proposed bill may advance, change, or die in committee.
When previously accurate information becomes outdated, we may label the change as an update rather than a correction. Time-sensitive pages may also display a “Last reviewed” or “Last updated” date so readers can judge how current the information is.
Disagreements and Requests for Removal
A disagreement with an opinion, interpretation, recommendation, or editorial decision does not automatically mean the content is factually incorrect. We will still review concerns supported by relevant evidence.
We will not change or remove accurate information solely because a company, organization, public official, or other interested party dislikes it. Requests involving privacy, personal information, copyright, or legal concerns will be reviewed separately based on the circumstances.
Our Standard
Corrections will be handled as openly and consistently as possible. The goal is not to pretend this site will never make a mistake. The goal is to fix mistakes responsibly when they are found.
