Medicare, Social Security, and retirement benefits rules change often, and getting them wrong has real consequences for real people. Here's exactly how we research, write, and keep our content accurate.
Every figure — income limits, deadlines, tax brackets, benefit formulas — is sourced directly from the federal agency that publishes it: SSA.gov, CMS.gov, Medicare.gov, IRS.gov, and each state's Medicaid agency for state-specific programs. We don't rely on secondhand summaries for numbers that matter.
Federal agencies write for compliance, not comprehension. We rewrite the same rules in plain language, using real numbers and real scenarios instead of regulatory phrasing.
Income limits, tax brackets, and COLA figures update annually — some more often. When a source publishes new numbers, we update the corresponding page and its "last updated" date, rather than leaving stale figures live.
Our tools (RMD Calculator, Social Security Estimator, Medicare Savings Estimator, and others) are built directly from the published IRS life-expectancy tables, SSA benefit formulas, and CMS income/asset thresholds — not simplified approximations.
SavedNest is published by IGNE Publishing. Content is planned and edited by our editorial team rather than a single outside "expert" byline — every guide goes through the same sourcing and review process described above, regardless of which page you're on.

Rules change, and we don't catch every update the moment it happens. If you spot a figure that looks off, let us know — we'd rather fix it than have it sit wrong.
