Corrections Policy

How 401kROBS.com handles corrections and reader error reports

Direct answer: 401kROBS.com treats corrections as evidence questions. A reportable issue is a possible factual error, outdated source or provider fact, unsupported statement, unclear disclosure, broken source, or calculation problem in reader-facing ROBS content. The site may correct text, update visible dates, add a correction or update note where the page supports it, or leave the page unchanged when the available evidence does not support a change. This policy does not promise a response deadline, guaranteed acknowledgment, public correction ledger, revision archive, automatic notification, legal review, or individualized advice.

Evidence standard: a correction changes the page only when the public source, page evidence, arithmetic, provider record, or current site behavior supports the narrower wording.

Boundary: a correction to educational content is not retroactive legal, tax, fiduciary, investment, valuation, or business advice for any reader's transaction.

Scope of this policy

This policy covers corrections and updates to public 401kROBS.com pages, tools, provider comparisons, trust pages, source references, affiliate disclosures, advertising disclosures, and Open Graph or metadata that affects how a page is represented. It is not a private workflow manual, ticketing system, correction queue, professional review program, audit log, or promise that all site content is monitored continuously.

The current public trust pages show source hierarchy, fact-checking standards, affiliate disclosure, advertising boundaries, author attribution, sitemap dates, and trust destinations. They do not show a dedicated correction-request form, correction email address, general contact route, ticket number process, staff roster, response SLA, or public correction archive.

What counts as a reportable issue

Factual error

A statement that appears wrong under the cited source, current official source, provider page, page evidence, arithmetic, route behavior, or visible site disclosure.

Changed source or provider fact

A provider fee, service description, ownership statement, support promise, phone number, cited official page, or date-sensitive fact that changed after publication.

Clarification request

Language that may be technically accurate but could mislead a reasonable reader because a limitation, assumption, or professional boundary is unclear.

Style or preference

Punctuation, phrasing, emphasis, or presentation preferences that do not change the factual meaning. These may be edited, but they are not treated as corrections.

Broken links, missing source support, unclear affiliate labels, unclear ad labels, page titles that overstate the content, schema or Open Graph text that misrepresents a page, and accessibility or overflow issues that hide material disclosures can also be reportable because they affect reader understanding.

What readers should send

A useful report is specific enough for another reader or editor to reproduce the concern. Include:

  • The page URL and the exact sentence, calculator output, table row, source note, provider fact, or disclosure being questioned.
  • The reason it may be wrong, outdated, unclear, or unsupported.
  • A source link, provider page, official guidance page, document excerpt, screenshot date, arithmetic input, or written provider quote when available.
  • Whether the issue could affect legal, tax, fiduciary, valuation, financing, rollover, provider-comparison, or affiliate-disclosure understanding.

Privacy caveat: do not send Social Security numbers, account numbers, tax returns, plan documents, purchase agreements, franchise documents, medical details, or other sensitive personal information unless a separate secure channel is explicitly provided. The current site pages do not publish a dedicated secure correction portal or promise anonymous handling.

How evidence is assessed

Reports are assessed against the claim type. Official IRS, DOL, statutory, regulatory, and form-instruction sources control legal, tax, filing, rollover, correction, and fiduciary statements where available. Provider pages and written provider materials can establish what a provider states, publishes, offers, charges, or excludes, but they do not independently prove best provider, safest provider, guaranteed compliance, or suitability. [2] [7] [8]

If evidence conflicts, the policy is to narrow the claim, label uncertainty, prefer the controlling or more specific source where justified, or tell the reader what written provider confirmation or professional review is needed. A reader disagreement, provider objection, or preference for different wording does not by itself require a correction unless it identifies a support problem.

Material corrections and visible treatment

A material correction is a change that could reasonably affect a reader's understanding of a ROBS rule, risk, cost, provider comparison, disclosure, calculation, date-sensitive fact, or next verification step. Material corrections can include:

  • Correcting a legal, tax, fiduciary, filing, rollover, prohibited-transaction, valuation, or plan-administration statement.
  • Changing a provider fee, service inclusion, guarantee, status, ownership, or date-sensitive provider statement when the public source no longer supports the wording.
  • Fixing calculator arithmetic, example math, source attribution, citation proximity, affiliate disclosure, advertising label, or a recommendation boundary that could affect reader reliance.
  • Adding a visible note when the change materially alters the takeaway and the page architecture supports a visible update or correction note.

Many current trust pages use metadata, schema, Open Graph, and sitemap last-modified dates. For trust pages, the current sitemap convention uses August 14, 2026. A date change shows the route's visible update practice; it is not a promise of a fixed recheck cadence, guaranteed correction timeline, or public revision history. [1] [2]

Minor edits, clarifications, and archive limits

Minor edits may fix grammar, punctuation, formatting, source-link wording, heading clarity, internal links, metadata wording, or accessibility presentation without changing the substantive conclusion. Clarifications may add a caveat or definition when the prior text could be misunderstood but was not materially false.

The site does not currently publish a public correction ledger, complete revision archive, automatic change notification system, or guarantee that every minor edit will receive a visible note. Older source snapshots, provider pages, or route states may also be unavailable if the public source has changed and no archive is maintained on the site.

Provider-sensitive and date-sensitive changes

Provider facts can change quickly: setup fees, monthly administration fees, employee charges, audit support, valuation support, legal or tax access, financing coordination, ownership, guarantees, status, promotions, contact details, and service exclusions. A provider-sensitive update should identify the provider, the exact published or written source, the date observed, and whether the concern affects a page conclusion, table value, tool result, or disclosure. [2] [6]

A changed provider page does not automatically mean older content was inaccurate when published. It may mean the page needs a current-source update, a date label, a narrowed statement, or a note that the previous source is no longer available.

Disagreement, no-outcome guarantees, and professional boundaries

401kROBS.com may decline to change a page when the cited source supports the current wording, the report supplies no verifiable evidence, the issue is a reasonable editorial judgment, or the requested wording would overstate certainty. The site also does not guarantee an outcome for provider disputes, advertiser disputes, legal interpretations, tax positions, valuation disagreements, plan corrections, or individual ROBS eligibility questions.

Corrections do not create retroactive professional advice. A page update cannot determine whether a reader's rollover, plan operation, corporate action, valuation, filing, franchise purchase, loan, business acquisition, or correction method was compliant or suitable. Those questions require the reader's documents and qualified professionals.

Urgent legal, tax, filing, and account issues

If the issue involves a live tax deadline, IRS or DOL notice, audit, prohibited transaction, missed Form 5500, plan-document failure, valuation problem, rollover error, payroll or withholding issue, participant claim, business sale, bankruptcy, or litigation threat, do not wait for a site correction before acting. Contact the relevant provider, plan administrator, ERISA attorney, CPA, valuation professional, lender, or government agency as appropriate.

The available public reporting destination is the related page or trust destination that best fits the issue: the fact-checking policy for source concerns, editorial policy for evidence and update boundaries, affiliate disclosure for commercial-link concerns, advertising policy for ad or sponsored-content concerns, provider methodology for scoring issues, and About page for site identity and trust links.

Use corrections as a verification signal, not a substitute for advice

A corrected page can improve public education. Your account records, plan documents, contracts, tax facts, provider scope, and professional advice still control your transaction decisions.
