The SIPP collects information about a
variety of topics including demographics, household composition,
education, nativity and citizenship, health insurance coverage,
Medicaid, Medicare, employment and earnings, unemployment
insurance, assets, child support, disability, housing subsidies,
migration, Old-Age Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI),
poverty, and participation in various government programs like
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Supplemental
Security Income (SSI), and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF). In the spring of 2021, as part of the American Rescue Plan,
the child tax credit was expanded and the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) was instructed to pay out monthly benefits. The 2022 SIPP
instrument will collect receipt of the child tax credit payments.
The SIPP sample is nationally representative, with an oversample of
low-income areas, in order to increase the ability to measure
participation in government programs. The SIPP program provides
critical information necessary to understand patterns and
relationships in income and program participation. It will fulfill
its objectives to keep respondent burden and costs low, maintain
high data quality and timeliness, and use a refined and vetted
instrument and processing system. The SIPP data collection
instrument maintains the improved data collection experience for
respondents and interviewers, and focuses on improvements in data
quality and better topic integration.
