This report is a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the income data and their utility for policy-related analyses in eight major surveys: the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP); the Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS); the American Community Survey (ACS); the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS); the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS); the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey Cost and Use files (MCBS); the Health and Retirement Study (HRS); and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID).

This report provides a comparison of four national surveys that measure health insurance coverage to asess fundamental methodological issues that impact the variation in health insurance coverage estimates seen among these surveys.  The surveys compared include the Current Population Survey’s Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS), the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey’s Household Component (MEPS), and six state surveys.   This report was prepared by SHADAC researchers for the U.S.
