MEPS Employment (EM-A) Section

NOTE: The MEPS instrument design changed beginning in Spring of 2018, affecting Panel 23 Round 1, Panel 22 Round 3, and Panel 21 Round 5, and affected the 2017 MEPS data files. The MEPS website releases the consolidated CAPI survey instruments each year for the Rounds 1 through 3 for the first year panel and Rounds 3 through 5 for the second year panel to accompany data releases. For the Full-Year 2017 PUFs, the Panel 22 Round 3 and Panel 21 Round 5 data were transformed to the degree possible to conform to the previous year (2016) design. For this reason, we are releasing 2016 CAPI survey instruments, updated to reflect 2017 dates, and users should note that not all changes to the instrument administered in the Spring of 2018 will be reflected in these documents.

THROUGHOUT THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR THIS CAPI
SECTION, FOR SCREENS THAT SPECIFY THE REFERENCE
PERIOD {END DATE} AS PART OF THE CONTEXT HEADER,
CAPI DISPLAYS THE {END DATE} ONLY FOR ROUND 5.
