Respondents were then asked if they were covered by any public insurance programs such as Medicare, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), or military benefit programs (HINOJLCOV ="2"). Respondents who answered affirmatively were asked about the length of time covered by some health care (HINOJLITIM) during the job loss.
