Jason Burns, Editorial Steward

Jason Burns is the accountable editorial steward for Senior Direct Answers. Every answer that carries a “Reviewed by Jason Burns” byline has been checked against a primary government source before publication.

Role

The steward is responsible for verifying that every quoted figure — premium, deductible, cost-sharing amount, enrollment date, income limit, and payable-benefit percentage — is character-verified against the current primary source (medicare.gov, cms.gov, ssa.gov, or a Congressional-record testimony PDF) before the answer is allowed to publish.

Editorial standards

  • Verbatim government quotes are never edited; historical figures are shown in an editor's-note lineage alongside the current figure.
  • Every source is a working link back to the original document, with the retrieval date recorded on the page.
  • No plan, carrier, or agency pays for placement or edits.
  • Any correction is dated and mirrored in the page's dateModified stamp.
