Abstract:
|
This paper uses survey reports linked to administrative records to evaluate misreporting about benefits provided by the Social Security Administration. We investigate how frequently respondents report social security benefits but misidentify the specific program that proivded the benefits. This type of mistake accounts for a large portion of the discrepancy between survey and administrative data about participation in these programs.
