Full Description
A variable in this array indicates whether an individual was covered by employer-provided
health insurance during month M. M represents the month number since the start of
panel_1stfullyear. 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.
