Abstract: Economic Supplement (CPS) and the American Community Survey (ACS) by comparing survey reports to data from administrative records from the Medica Health Plan in Minnesota. The survey will be conducted by telephone with sample of Medica enrollees. The data will inform efforts to reduce misreporting of coverage in the CPS and ACS and, more generally, to understand measurement error in surveys that measure health insurance. A single household respondent (18 and over) will be asked to answer questions about all other household members.
