How DiscoverDirectly works

We want it to be clear what DiscoverDirectly is, how we create our content, and how the site may earn money. This page is a simple overview of our process.

1. Research and topics

We focus on topics that affect everyday money decisions, such as government benefits, debt relief options, and ways to review monthly bills. When we research a topic, we:

1. Look at information from official sources whenever possible (for example, government websites).
2. Review plain-language explanations from well-known organizations or consumer resources.
3. Identify the most important points that an everyday reader would want to know first.

2. Creating plain-language guides

Once we understand the basics of a topic, we turn that information into short guides written in everyday language. Our goal is not to cover every possible detail, but to give you a helpful starting point so you can:

• Understand common terms and concepts.
• See examples of what to look for in official documents or offers.
• Know which questions you may want to ask a professional or service provider.

We do not offer personalized legal, tax, or financial advice. You should always confirm details with official program administrators or licensed professionals.

3. Links to third-party sites and services

Many of our guides include links to third-party websites. These links are provided so you can continue your own research, read official information, or learn about companies that offer relevant services. We do not control the content on those websites and they have their own terms and privacy policies.

4. How DiscoverDirectly may earn money

DiscoverDirectly is free for readers to use. To support the cost of running the site, we may:

• Display advertising on some pages, including ads served by third-party networks.
• Include links to third-party services where we may receive compensation if you click or sign up.

Any such advertising or affiliate relationships do not change our goal of providing helpful, easy-to-understand information. We do not guarantee the results of any program or service mentioned on the site.

5. Your choices as a reader

You are always in control of what you do with the information you read here. We encourage you to:

• Use our guides as a starting point, not the final word.
• Visit official government websites or contact providers directly for the most current information.
• Talk to a licensed professional if you need specific legal, tax, or financial advice.
