How DiscoverDirectly works

We try to keep things simple and transparent:

  1. We research public programs, common financial products, and everyday savings ideas.
  2. We summarize what we find into short, easy-to-read guides.
  3. When helpful, we link to third-party websites and services you can review on your own.

We are not a government agency, law firm, or financial institution, and we do not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. Always confirm details with an official or licensed professional.

About DiscoverDirectly

DiscoverDirectly was created to make it easier for people to understand complex topics like benefits, debt relief, and everyday money decisions. Instead of long legal documents or confusing marketing, we aim to provide plain-language explanations and helpful checklists.

Our content is free to read. In some cases, we may receive compensation when you click on a link or contact a third-party service that appears on our site. This helps support our work at no additional cost to you and does not change our goal of sharing clear, honest information.
