How we check

Since October 6, 2026, each new listing, and each change to an amount, a deadline or a rule, is read on its official page by two separate readers working apart. A new listing goes on the site, and a change is made, only when both agree.

The readers are AI tools working under our written rules. People set the rules, review what is flagged and decide questions of faith.

For 476 of 502 listings, every amount, percentage, age limit and date we show sits inside an exact sentence we stored from the official page, with the page's address and the day we read it. We add the rest every day.

When we read a web page again and the sentence is no longer on it, the fact is hidden and the listing says "check the official page" until it is read again. A page that is gone goes to our daily check.

2633 stored sentences in all, today.

Every listing shows "Checked by us" with the month we last read its official page. Once we have read the page's own date, it also shows "Source updated" with that date, or "not shown" when the page gives none. Closing dates are exact, with the time when the page gives one.

Every correction is listed by month, with what changed and the official page it was read from. Nothing is deleted: a program that ended stays on the site, marked closed. See something wrong? Tap "Report a problem" on its page.
