Description

For persons who received any welfare or public assistance payments last month, QINCWELF indicates whether the person's information on the amount of welfare income (INCWELFR) was imputed.

Please refer to the Universe tab for more information on changes in the universe across samples.

 

QINCWELF is part of the Family Resources supplement that provides information on individuals' health benefits, amount of coverage and income received from employment, welfare benefits, public assistance, and savings during the month prior to the interview. Unlike the core survey, all missing data in this supplement were imputed by NHIS.

Comparability

Changes in the universe in 1993-1996 affect the comparability of this variable. As always, users should use the appropriate weight for their analyses.
