PAP measure

Hello, I'm looking for some more information on the person level PAP measure in the PUMS data, which describes a dollar amount for received public assistance funds. Can anyone direct me toward a reference describing in more detail which PA funds this measure covers? Food stamps? SNAP? Other welfare? Medicaid? Thank you!

  • Thanks so much Beth, I'm aware of the categorical variables, but wanted to be sure I understood what was included in 'public assistance or welfare payments', which I found on page 83 in the linked document you sent. Thanks again!
