MyResourceAccess is written and maintained by a small editorial team, not a single named columnist.
This page explains who does the work and how an article gets from a program name to something published under this byline.
What the team actually does, article by article
- Research. Every program profile traces back to the agency that runs it. That would be HHS, HUD, the IRS, the Social Security Administration, the FCC, the Department of Education, or the relevant state human-services department. When eligibility varies by state, as it does for Medicaid, LIHEAP, ERAP, and TANF, someone on the team checks the specific state’s current rule rather than citing a national average.
- Drafting. Articles are built around a specific program and a specific eligibility threshold. That means the dollar amounts, household-size limits, and documents a caseworker will actually ask for. We do not make a general survey of “programs that might help.”
- Editorial review. A second person checks every draft against the sourcing rule before it publishes. We have a minimum of two primary-source citations, none from lead-generation or grant-marketing sites.
- Ongoing correction. Program rules and dollar thresholds change, sometimes every year. We ran a full pass across the site’s back catalog in August 2026 specifically to bring older articles’ sourcing up to the same standard as new ones. 85 of 107 published articles needed at least one additional verified citation, and all 85 were fixed and re-checked.
Why there’s no team photo on this page
We’d rather leave this section without a photo than publish a stock image and call it “our team,” which looks fine and means nothing.
If you want to flag an error, ask where a figure came from, or tell us a program’s rules have changed, feel free to reach us! You can use the contact page to reaches the people responsible for a specific article directly.
What this byline doesn’t mean
Nobody on this team is a licensed attorney, benefits caseworker, or financial advisor. Nothing on this site replaces a conversation with the agency handling your specific case.
The team’s job is to accurately explain what a program generally requires and what it generally covers, sourced to the agency that runs it, and to correct that explanation when the underlying rule changes.
