Description

Definition
HCHHANYPAYSS indicates whether Social Security (or a similar government program) paid the fees for household members' health care.

The information in HCHHANYPAYSS is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
