Official source shelf

What to verify before acting

  • What official source controls the answer?
  • Does the answer change by state, enrollment period, policy wording, or underwriting?
  • Which document should the reader open before using a calculator?
  • What should be escalated to a licensed professional, state department, Marketplace, Medicare, Medicaid, or carrier appeals channel?

User pain signals translated into knowledge needs

  • research: Applicants ask whether diabetes, pancreatitis, mental health history, medication, or prior denial makes life insurance impossible.
  • research: Users misunderstand waiting periods, graded death benefits, accidental-only periods, and no-exam policy limits.
  • research: Familias preguntan si construccion, manejo comercial, trabajo nocturno o hobbies extremos cambian precio o elegibilidad.

State-sensitive fields

Store state, topic, source URL, reviewed date, effective date when available, and the section of the article or calculator that depends on local rules. This prevents a static article from making stale claims about rates, minimums, complaint deadlines, or special markets.
