Current Population Survey Disability Supplement
1220-0186
June 2019
1. Respondent Universe
The July 2019 supplement will be conducted in conjunction with the CPS, for which the universe is 122 million households. From this universe, the Census Bureau selects a sample of approximately 72,000 households each month, of which approximately 60,000 households are eligible for interviews. The Census Bureau actually interviews about 55,000 households each month. The items in the supplement are asked, as appropriate, for members of the households.
2. Procedures for Collecting Information
This is a supplemental survey associated with the July 2019 CPS. The statistical properties of these supplemental items will fall within those associated with the CPS itself. For additional information on the design of and preparation of the CPS sample, see “Redesign of the sample for the Current Population Survey.” (Attachment G.) Weighting is discussed in Chapter 10 of Technical Paper 66, available at http://www.census.gov/prod/2006pubs/tp-66.pdf.
3. Methods to Maximize Response
Response rates and data accuracy for the CPS are maintained at high levels through internal consistency edits in the computerized instrument, interviewer instructions, training, and close monitoring of these data. For additional information, see Chapter 7 and Appendix D of Technical Paper 66, available at http://www.census.gov/prod/2006pubs/tp-66.pdf.
4. Testing of Procedures
No new questions are proposed for the new collection.
The Disability supplement is subject to the same testing procedures as the monthly CPS. This includes instrument testing, output testing, and systems testing. Attachment H discusses the reliability of the estimates produced from the May 2012 Disability supplement.
