Full Description
A variable in this array indicates whether an individual was covered by employer-provided
health insurance during year YYYY, month MM. Only the first 24 months of the individual's
SIPP panel are in universe. A later release of these data will add months after 24
for longer SIPP panels. Months that are outside the time frame covered by an individual's
SIPP panel will always be missing and out of universe. Employer-provided health insurance
coverage is derived from the following variables: HISRC in the 1990-1993 panels; EHEMPLY
in the 1996-2008 panels. Note: this question was not included in the 1984 panel.
