Corrections Policy

Accuracy is a core commitment at EmployerBenefitsIQ.com. When we get something wrong — a statistic, a regulatory threshold, a vendor data point — we correct it promptly, transparently, and on the record.

How corrections work

What qualifies as a correction

A correction is issued when factual content — a statistic, regulatory value, vendor data point, or substantive claim — is found to be inaccurate. Corrections are not issued for changes in opinion, updated projections, or routine content refreshes.

How we handle corrections

  • The incorrect content is updated in place on the original page.
  • A correction note is added to the page near the corrected content.
  • The correction is logged below with the date, page, and nature of the change.
  • If the error was material — affecting a decision or calculation — we note the source of the correction.
  • We do not delete or hide incorrect content without logging the change.

Response time

We aim to review all correction submissions within 3 business days. Material errors affecting regulatory thresholds, financial calculations, or vendor data are prioritized and typically corrected within 24 hours of verification.

What we do not correct

We do not issue corrections for differences of professional opinion, projections that were accurate at time of publication but have since changed, or content that is clearly labeled as estimated or projected. We also do not alter content at the request of vendors or commercial partners.
