Worthune Facts

Every constant our models use, with its source and check date

IRS limits and brackets, SSA factors and life tables, Medicare surcharge tiers, federal poverty guidelines — each with its primary source, its effective period, and the date a human last checked it. These are the exact values our engine runs on. We publish what we run, maintain it against the primary sources on a best-efforts basis, and version every change publicly.

“Verified” means confirmed against the cited primary source, not against another website. No value enters this registry without one — future-year figures we haven’t confirmed stay out until we have. A verified value whose check date ages past our review interval automatically demotes to “Pending re-check” — the registry can’t claim freshness nobody performed. When a model uses one of these constants, its API response cites it.
