Abstract:
|
Underreporting of means-tested benefits in the Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS) has increased since the early 1990s. This presentation will show trends in underreporting of SSI, AFDC/TANF, food stamps, and Medicaid/SCHIP from 1993 to 2005 and discuss the extent of imputation for non-response on the CPS. Comparisons will be made to the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) for selected years. Results from the 2004 current law simulation of the TRIM3 microsimulation model will be presented to demonstrate the use of microsimulation in correcting for underreporting of means-tested benefits in the CPS.
