SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau conducts the 

SIPP, which is a household-based 

survey designed as a continuous series 

of national panels. New panels are 

introduced every few years with each 

panel having durations of one to six 

years. Respondents are interviewed at 4- 

month intervals or ‘‘waves’’ over the life 

of the panel. The survey is molded 

around a central ‘‘core’’ of labor force 

and income questions that remain fixed 

throughout the life of the panel. The 

core is supplemented with questions 

designed to address specific needs, such 

as obtaining information on household 

members’ participation in government 

programs as well as prior labor force 

patterns of household members. These 

supplemental questions are included 

with the core and are referred to as 

‘‘topical modules.’’ 

The SIPP represents a source of 

information for a wide variety of topics 

and allows information for separate 

topics to be integrated to form a single, 

unified database so that the interaction 

between tax, transfer, and other 

government and private policies can be 

examined. Government domestic-policy 

formulators depend heavily upon the 

SIPP information concerning the 

distribution of income received directly 

as money or indirectly as in-kind 

benefits and the effect of tax and 

transfer programs on this distribution. 

They also need improved and expanded 

data on the income and general 

economic and financial situation of the 

U.S. population. The SIPP has provided 

these kinds of data on a continuing basis 

since 1983 permitting levels of 

economic well-being and changes in 

these levels to be measured over time. 

The 2008 panel is currently scheduled 

for approximately 6 years and will 

include 17 waves of interviewing 

beginning in September 2008. 

Approximately 65,300 households were 

selected for the 2008 panel, of which 

42,032 households were interviewed. 

We estimate that each household 

contains 2.1 people, yielding 88,267 

person-level interviews in Wave 1 and 

subsequent waves. Interviews take 30 

minutes on average. Three waves will 

occur in the 2008 SIPP Panel during FY 

2011. The total annual burden for 2008 

Panel SIPP interviews would be 132,400 

hours in FY 2011. 

The topical modules for the 2008 

Panel Wave 10 collect information
