This is a pilot project to develop methods by which American Community Survey (ACS) data could be used to support historical subannual estimates of health insurance coverage or other subannual estimates of interest. We develop a weighting methodology to independently weight monthly ACS samples and create monthly estimates of health insurance coverage as well as other monthly estimates in order to evaluate the methodology.
