Description

For persons who received Social Security or Railroad Retirement (SS/RR) income during the month prior to the interview, SSMO reports the approximate number of months the person has been receiving SS/RR benefits since the person first received such benefits.

In 1993, this question was only asked of persons who were interviewed in quarters 3 and 4.

[show more]

SSMO 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.

Questions in the Family Resources supplement are different from those in the core survey in terms of the content and the treatment of missing data. Questions in the Family Resources were normally asked of the month prior to the interview while the core survey asked of the last calendar year. All missing data in the Family Resources supplement were imputed by NHIS. Users can refer to the imputation flag variable SSMOFLAG to identify persons with imputed data.
