Description

For family reference persons who have information on income of other family member(s) in the military (FAMIND), TRANSFERMIL reports transfer income during the month prior to the interview for all family members who are in the military. Transfer income includes income from Social Security/Railroad Retirement, other disability payment, pension, public assistance, and other source(s) that were not specified in the survey.

 

TRANSFERMIL 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 and users can refer to the imputation flag variables to identify persons with imputed data.
