Questions Test will gather information on the disability status of
CPS respondents. The BLS will use the data to assess the
effectiveness of new questions designed to identify persons with
disabilities within the context of the CPS. Additionally, the BLS
will be able to evaluate the effect that adding these questions to
the CPS on a monthly basis will have on that survey's response
rates.
