Legal
Terms of Use
The ground rules for using this site. Last updated: August 12, 2026.
Educational content only
Everything on Benefits Insider is educational. It is not individualized medical, financial, legal, or tax advice, and using this site does not create a professional relationship of any kind.
Your situation has details we cannot see. Before you act on anything here, confirm it with the Social Security Administration, Medicare, your state agency, or a qualified professional.
We are not the government
Benefits Insider is an independent publisher. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Social Security Administration, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the USDA, or any government agency. We do not process claims, and we cannot access, change, or expedite your benefits.
Accuracy and change
We verify figures against primary sources and date what we publish — see our editorial policy. But benefit rules and dollar amounts change, sometimes mid-year. Content accurate when written may not be accurate when you read it. Always check the “last reviewed” date and confirm current figures with the agency.
Your responsibilities
- Use the site lawfully.
- Don’t attempt to disrupt, scrape at scale, or gain unauthorized access.
- Don’t impersonate Benefits Insider or use our name or marks to suggest an endorsement we haven’t given.
Our content
The content on this site — articles, guides, videos, and the InsiderTrusted™ mark — belongs to Next Chapter Media or its licensors. You may read, print, and share it for personal use. You may not republish it commercially without written permission.
Links to other sites
We link to partners, affiliates, and government sources. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content or practices. Leaving our site means their terms apply.
Limitation of liability
The site is provided “as is.” To the fullest extent the law allows, Next Chapter Media is not liable for losses arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. Some states don’t allow certain limitations, so parts of this may not apply to you.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised version.
