Official sources come first
We use the Social Security Administration as the primary source for descriptions of its programs, application materials, and processes. Guides link directly to the supporting SSA pages or publications.
We write for people, not rankings
Our goal is to make an overwhelming beginning easier to understand. We avoid manufactured urgency, approval promises, speculative eligibility conclusions, and articles created solely to target search phrases.
Boundaries stay visible
ClaimPilot is not SSA, is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice or representation, and does not decide eligibility or submit applications to SSA.
Dates and changes matter
Each guide shows when it was last reviewed. We update material when an official source changes in a way that affects the guide rather than changing dates simply to make content appear new.
Corrections are welcome
If you find something that appears inaccurate or unclear, contact us. We review reported issues against official sources and correct material when needed.
