# FAQ

Here are the most common questions about verifying.

### Can I verify a proposal after two hours?

No. Once the two-hour challenge period ends, if the proposal is not disputed, the market resolves. Later verifications will not affect the outcome.

### What happens if an incorrect proposal is verified?

If an incorrect proposal is verified and goes undisputed, Polymarket may pay out the wrong side of the market. 

### Why verify instead of propose?

Verifying lets you see how proposals are reviewed and resolved. By observing others or verifying yourself, you learn what makes a proposal accurate or rejected.

### How much do verifiers earn in rewards?

Verification team members can earn up to 2 UMA for each correct verification. Incorrect verifications can result in a penalty of up to 4 UMA.

### Why are there rewards?

Rewards motivate verifiers to review proposals carefully and catch errors. Polymarket's system rewards proposers and disputers, while UMA provides separate incentives for verification team members. 

### How often do verifiers disagree?

Disagreements happen, especially in close or subjective markets. When this occurs, verifiers review each other's findings to identify what caused the difference and reach a consensus.

### What if I disagree with a verification?

If you disagree with a verification, you can discuss it with UMA community members to understand their reasoning. You can also choose to dispute the market directly.
