The official government page and its published questions and answers, read directly and dated. Anything from an intermediary should be checked against that source before it is acted on.
One source, checked on a known date
Hypothetical example: Because this framework is recent and its terms have moved, the practical discipline is to record when the official material was read and to re-read it before each decision point. Summaries prepared by third parties tend to compress exactly the parts that determine eligibility, and a brochure that was accurate when written may not be accurate now. Anyone who cannot point to the official page for a claim they are making about amounts, timing, family inclusion or refundability is describing something they have not verified. Grant should also keep his own copy of what he read and when, because if the terms later change, knowing which version he relied on will matter.
Retain the current official page with its capture date, applicable instructions, identity records and a traceable record of communications or payment. Hypothetical example: A warehouse-robotics entrepreneur receives a broker's payment link with a different recipient from the official description. The applicant should stop and verify the recipient directly from current government materials. A payment described as destined for the U.S. government should not be redirected to a private intermediary without a documented, official basis.
Preserve confirmations immediately after each event. A complete record should show the applicant, date, recipient, amount and official authority for the payment.
