The New Beneficiary Survey is a cross-sectional household survey using randomly selected samples. The survey is divided into fifteen analytic subdomains by age, sex, and benefit status. Separate sample sizes were specified for each subdomain. The sample was adapted to the frame of the Institute for Survey Research/Mathematica Policy Research National Sample of Primary Sampling Units to achieve nationally representative cluster samples.
