How we research

Research, an independent check, translation review and regular updates.

Everything on RobinClaim's topic sites comes from official sources and is checked before it is published. This page describes the process for the whole network. Each site's own research page adds the details for its topic.

1. Research

For each state we read the statute, the court or agency rules and the official forms and instructions, from the legislature, the courts and the state agency that runs the process. We don't use law-firm marketing, blogs or AI summaries as sources. Each guide lists its sources and the month they were checked.

2. Independent check

A second reviewer checks every state page against those sources: numbers (limits, fees, amounts), deadlines and how they are counted, offices, and form names and links. Where we can't confirm something, we leave it out or say so on the page instead of guessing.

3. Translation review

Spanish pages are translated from the checked English text and reviewed separately. Official names stay in English with a Spanish explanation, so you can find them on government sites.

4. Updates

We recheck the guides when laws change and at least once a year; fast-moving facts, such as which property tax appeal windows are open, are updated monthly. The facts on RobinClaim's state pages are copied from the topic sites when the hub is rebuilt (last: Oct 2026); they never add facts of their own. Where a topic site has no short form of a rule, the hub says “See the guide”.

For problem areas without a RobinClaim guide, the finder links free official or nonprofit help only. These are the links and where we confirmed them:
