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
dateModifiedstamp.
