Description
SPMSNAP is the imputed amount of assistance, rounded to the nearest dollar, that an SPM family unit (SPMFAMUNIT) receives from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program (SNAP). Respondents to the ACS answer a question about whether their household receives SNAP benefits but not the amount of those benefits. The Census Bureau imputes that amount based on data from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey (CPS ASEC). For detailed information about how the Census Bureau derives this measure, please refer to the Supplemental Poverty Measure using the American Community Survey working paper.
SPMSNAP is used, along with other non-cash variables, to calculate SPMTOTRES.
SPMSNAP is a 5-digit numeric variable that is used to calculate the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) for a family. SPMSNAP specific variable codes for missing, edited, or unidentified observations, observations not applicable (N/A), observations not in universe (NIU), top and bottom value coding, etc. are provided below if applicable by Census year (and data sample if specified).
