Description
For persons aged 16 and older who are in scope and have a current main job as a wage earner (e.g., not self-employed) or who are self-employed and have at least one other employee, EHICOVRD reports if the person holds health insurance through their current main job.
Codes and Frequencies
Comparability
In 1996, EHICOVRD only includes persons aged 16 and older with a continuing current main job (i.e., from a previous round) as wage earners (e.g., NOT self-employed) who are eligible in rounds 1 and 2 of data collection; in subsequent years, EHICOVRD is available for all persons aged 16 and older who have a continuing current main job as a wage earner. Otherwise, this variable is completely comparable across time.
