Factual errors
A statement that appears incorrect, a calculation that may be wrong, or a description that does not match the cited source.
401k Calculator & Guide
Accurate retirement information matters. This policy explains how 401k.blog approaches reported errors, reviews factual concerns, and updates content when a correction is warranted.
If you believe an article contains inaccurate, outdated, or unclear information, please report the specific page and statement through our Contact page. Include a reliable source where possible so the issue can be assessed.
401k.blog publishes educational information about U.S. 401(k) plans, retirement savings, employer contributions, plan fees, withdrawals, and required minimum distributions.
Financial rules can change, and an error or unclear explanation may affect how a reader understands an important topic. We aim to address substantiated factual concerns and keep our content useful and understandable.
This policy explains our intended approach to corrections. It does not promise that every report will result in a change or that every issue can be reviewed within a particular time frame.
Readers are welcome to report potential problems that could affect the accuracy, clarity, or usefulness of an article.
A statement that appears incorrect, a calculation that may be wrong, or a description that does not match the cited source.
Old contribution limits, tax figures, deadlines, or rules that may have changed since publication.
A broken reference, a link that points to the wrong resource, or a citation that does not support the claim.
Wording that could reasonably cause readers to misunderstand a retirement rule, limitation, or important distinction.
When a potential error is brought to our attention, the issue may be assessed using the following general approach.
Determine which article, passage, figure, calculation, or link has been questioned.
Where appropriate, compare the claim with relevant official guidance, source documents, or other reliable material.
Consider whether the information is inaccurate, materially outdated, incomplete in a misleading way, or simply subject to a legitimate difference in interpretation.
If an error is substantiated, aim to correct the affected information and clarify the explanation where necessary.
The nature of a correction may depend on the seriousness and scope of the issue.
We aim to preserve useful context while making necessary changes. The precise treatment may vary depending on the issue and the information available.
When appropriate, a page may display a publication date or an update date. Such dates help readers understand when content was published or revised, but they should not automatically be interpreted as proof that every claim has been reverified.
For significant changes, an explanatory note may describe what was changed and why. Not every minor wording, formatting, or link edit requires a separate public note.
Readers should verify time-sensitive retirement information against current official guidance, particularly for contribution limits, tax treatment, distribution deadlines, and regulatory requirements.
Some financial and retirement topics depend on individual circumstances, specific plan provisions, or changes in legal interpretation. A difference of opinion does not automatically establish that an article is inaccurate.
We aim to consider the substance of a report and the evidence supplied. Where a statement needs more context or a qualification, clarification may be more appropriate than removing the entire explanation.
We do not promise to adopt every requested change. The decision should depend on the available evidence, the relevance of the issue, and the need to communicate the subject accurately.
To help us understand a potential error, please include as much of the following information as you can:
Send your report through the website's Contact page.
Please do not include passwords, account numbers, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive personal financial information in a correction request.
We may not be able to respond individually to every report, and a submission does not guarantee a correction or a particular response time.
This policy describes the approach 401k.blog aims to follow when potential content errors are reported. It is not a guarantee that every article has been independently fact-checked, reviewed by a financial professional, or verified in real time.
Our content is intended for general educational purposes and is not personalized financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Readers should confirm important information with relevant official sources, their plan administrator, or a qualified professional.
