About
Gov Money Map is an independent research project that tracks U.S. government benefit programs for veterans, small business owners, students, and families.
Gov Money Map is an independent research project that tracks U.S. government benefit programs for veterans, small business owners, students, and families. Every new article's numbers are checked against the agency that publishes them before the article goes live, and older articles are being moved onto the same recheck schedule as they come up for re-verification.
Who Runs This Site
Gov Money Map is run by Moogwang Jin, an independent researcher and publisher. Moogwang Jin is not a government caseworker, a financial advisor, or a lawyer. The work is research and publishing: reading the official rules for a benefit program, checking the current numbers against the agency that sets them, and writing the result in plain language.
Articles on this site are published under the editorial responsibility of Moogwang Jin. Articles published before this change carry the site's earlier team byline, "the GovMoneyMap Research Team"; each article moves to the named byline as it is re-verified, starting with new articles. New articles are drafted with AI-assisted research and then checked against the primary government source before they go live, using the process in "How We Verify Facts" below.
What This Site Does
Gov Money Map covers federal and state benefit programs: Veterans Affairs programs, Small Business Administration loans and grants, IRS tax credits, and state assistance programs such as CalFresh, Medi-Cal, and CalWORKs. Each article covers three things: who qualifies, how much the program pays, and where to apply on the official government page.
Gov Money Map does not replace the official source. Every article links to the agency page the figures came from, so you can check it yourself.
How We Verify Facts
Every new article's dollar amounts, income limits, and deadlines are checked against the government agency that publishes them (VA.gov, SBA.gov, IRS.gov, or the relevant state agency) before the article goes live. Older articles are being moved onto the recheck schedule described below as they come up for re-verification.
Before publication, a separate review, run independently of the drafting step, checks the draft against the same government source again. It looks for anything that does not match: a wrong dollar figure, an outdated deadline, a rule that has changed. An article is not published until that check comes back clean.
Program numbers change on a schedule set by the government agency, not by us. Some update every calendar year, some every federal fiscal year, some on the agency's own announcement date. Gov Money Map keeps a schedule of when each tracked article's numbers are due for a recheck and re-verifies them against the official source when that date comes. When a number changes, the article is updated and the "Last updated" date on the article changes with it.
What This Site Is Not
- Gov Money Map is not a government agency. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the VA, SBA, IRS, or any other federal or state agency, and cannot approve, deny, or process any application.
- Gov Money Map is not legal, financial, or tax advice. The articles explain what a program is, who qualifies, and where to apply. For a decision specific to your situation, such as a disability claim appeal or a tax filing question, consult the government agency directly or a licensed professional.
- Gov Money Map does not sell personal information to lenders or service providers, and does not collect it for that purpose. Ads and third-party links are covered in the Funding section below.
Funding
Gov Money Map may be supported by advertising and, on some pages, by links to third-party services such as tax-preparation tools. When a page carries an ad or a link like this, it is marked, and it does not change what the article says.
The Company Behind This Site
