Links to Job Providing Insurance. For employment-based insurance, there are two variables linking the insurance to details about the jobs through which the insurance was obtained, CMJINS and JOBSIDX. Most people with employment-based insurance have it through current main jobs. The variable CMJINS indicates whether the insurance is through a current main job. When the insurance is not employment-based, then CMJINS is set to “inapplicable.” Generally, many edited and imputed variables describing policyholders’ current main jobs are available on HC-064 and HC-073. If CMJINS =1 and the policyholder has a PUF record (PUF64FLG or PUF73FLG), then edited and imputed current main jobs variables are available on the indicated PUF. For other types of jobs (for example, former jobs), the JOBS files (HC-074 and HC-063) contain edited variables describing the job. JOBSFILE indicates which jobs file contains information about the source of coverage. In most cases, information about the job is in HC-074, but for Panel 7, if the job ended before 2003, information about the job is contained in HC-063. JOBSIDX is the link to the record for the job in the JOBS file that is the source of coverage. This link is slightly complicated, because the variable JOBSINFR indicates links that were inferred, rather than obtained directly from the respondent. Links were inferred because when persons reported employment-based health insurance at the end of the insurance section (HX23), the plan is not always easily linked to a specific job. Most of these cases were directly linked by establishment IDs, but others required inferences based on whether the insurance was through a current or former job (EMPLSTAT), and some could not be linked at all. The variable EMPLSTAT contains the answers to question HP12, which is asked only about the policyholders of employment-related insurance first mentioned at the end of the insurance section of the interview (HX23), and it is asked only in the interview round where the insurance was first reported. Thus, it is useful only for the cases where links to jobs could not be inferred. Because it does not contain updated information about the policyholder’s employment at each interview, the value is set to -2 in subsequent rounds, and users can link back to the PRPL record from the prior rounds, using the DUPERSID and EPRSIDX, to get the original information.

For other types of jobs (for example, former jobs), the JOBS files (HC-074 HC-158 and HC-063HC-150) contain edited variables describing the job. JOBSFILE indicates which jobs file contains information about the source of coverage. In most cases, information about the job is in HC-074HC-158, but for Panel 717, if the job ended before 20032013, information about the job is contained in HC-063HC-150. JOBSIDX is the link to the record for the job in the JOBS file that is the source of coverage. This link is slightly complicated, because the variable JOBSINFR indicates links that were inferred, rather than obtained directly from the respondent. Links were inferred because because, when persons reported employment-based health insurance at the end of the insurance section (HX23), the plan is was not always easily linked to a specific job. Most of these cases were directly linked by establishment IDs, but others required inferences based on whether the insurance was through a current or former job (EMPLSTAT), and some could not be linked at all. The variable EMPLSTAT contains the answers to question HP12, which is asked only about the policyholders of employment-related insurance first mentioned at the end of the insurance section of the interview (HX23), and it is asked only in the interview round where the insurance was first reported. Thus, it is useful only for the cases where links to jobs could not be inferred. Because it does not contain updated information about the policyholder’s employment at each interview, the value is set to -2 in subsequent rounds, and users can link back to the PRPL record from the prior rounds, using the DUPERSID DUPERSID, ESTBIDX, and EPRSIDX, PHLDRIDX to get the original information.

Links to Job Providing Insurance. For employment-based insurance, there are two variables linking the insurance to details about the jobs through which the insurance was obtained, CMJINS and JOBSIDX. Most people with employment-based insurance have it through current main jobs. The variable CMJINS indicates whether the insurance is through a current main job. When insurance is through a previous job or through self employment and there is only one employee, then CMJINS is set to “no”. When the insurance is not employment-based, then CMJINS is set to “inapplicable.” Generally, many edited and imputed variables describing policyholders’ current main jobs are available on HC-064 HC-084 and HC-073HC-090. If CMJINS =1 and the policyholder has a PUF record (PUF64FLG PUF84FLG or PUF73FLGPUF90FLG), then edited and imputed current main jobs variables are available on the indicated PUF. For other types of jobs (for example, former jobs), the JOBS files (HC-074 HC-091 and HC-063HC-083) contain edited variables describing the job. JOBSFILE indicates which jobs file contains information about the source of coverage. In most cases, information about the job is in HC-074HC-091, but for Panel 79, if the job ended before 20032005, information about the job is contained in HC-063HC-083. JOBSIDX is the link to the record for the job in the JOBS file that is the source of coverage.
