About us
Questions, answered.
Is it really free?
Yes. The brief is free and always will be. Now and then we may mention a guide you can buy. But the brief never costs a dime.
How long does it take to read?
About two minutes. One change, four short answers, one thing to do. That is it.
Where does this news come from?
Straight from Social Security, Medicare, and the IRS. We check it before every send. If we cannot confirm a number, we leave it out.
How do I stop it?
