Description

INSHHANYSOCS indicates whether any member of the household is covered by health insurance through Social Security or another government program.

The information in INSHHANYSOCS is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.

Comparability
