Fact-Checking Policy

At Compassionate Hands Yukon, we are committed to delivering accurate, timely, and reliable information about Canadian government programs such as CPP, CRA, OAS, GIS, and various stimulus or support payments.

The integrity of our content is our top priority, and this fact-checking policy outlines how we ensure the information we publish meets the highest standards.

1. Commitment to Accuracy

Every article we publish is built on a foundation of verified information. Our editorial team rigorously checks the facts before publishing any content. We understand that our readers rely on us for essential updates on financial support and retirement benefits, and we take that responsibility seriously.

2. Trusted Source Verification

To ensure accuracy, we rely on information from:

  • Publicly available government resources and portals (such as Service Canada and CRA pages)
  • Official press releases, bulletins, and government updates
  • Information shared by provincial and federal agencies
  • Previous official statements and established data

Although we are not affiliated with any government agency, we interpret and summarize updates from trusted and official public sources to make them easier to understand.

3. Editorial Review Process

Before publication, every article undergoes a multi-step review that includes:

  • Initial research and data gathering
  • Internal verification of all facts, figures, dates, and claims
  • Double-checking numbers, eligibility criteria, and payment dates
  • Final editorial review for consistency and clarity

When applicable, we cross-reference multiple official announcements to ensure that the information reflects the latest updates.

4. Timely Updates and Corrections

We monitor ongoing government policy changes and regularly review and update our content to reflect the latest available information. If any inaccuracies are identified—either by our team or reported by readers—we act swiftly to correct them and add a clarification note when appropriate.

5. Reader Feedback

We welcome and encourage our readers to help us maintain accuracy. If you spot any outdated or incorrect information, please reach out via our Contact Us page. Your input helps us improve and stay accountable.

6. Editorial Independence

While we gather data from public and government sources, Compassionate Hands Yukon remains entirely independent. We are not affiliated with any official agency or government body, and we maintain full editorial control over our content.
