Proposal for Incentives in the 1999 SPD

SPD99-1

Introduction

In an attempt to slow the rate of attrition for the Survey of Program Dynamics (SPD), we are requesting permission to offer a prepaid incentive of $40 to all eligible sample cases in the upcoming 1999 data collection. This procedure would be part of a campaign to slow the rate of attrition for this important longitudinal survey. Justification for our request is given in the following section. Section III. offers more details about the operational plan for implementing the incentive procedure. Section IV. offers the most current results from both the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and SPD incentive experiments as well as information about other surveys that have used incentives. We would need OMB approval by March 1, 1999 to be able to implement the procedure successfully.
