Description

For households that ever received cash assistance, CASHASSISTSRC indicates whether the assistance was from a government or non-governmental organization.

CASHASSISTYN is a related variable that indicates whether the household ever received any cash assistance.

The information in CASHASSISTSRC is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
