2014 Panel Wave 1: RWICCOVYN

A known issue affecting the value of RWICCOVYN in wave 1 is that children born after the first month but before the end of a WIC spell never appear as covered by the benefit. For example, if a mother reported a WIC spell from months 3 to 12 and gave birth to a child in month 9, the mother has RWICCOVYN = 1 (yes) in months 3 to 12, while the baby born has a value of not in universe for the same period of time.

This affects 606 person months. Please check back for SAS code correcting this coverage issue, or contact John Hisnanick (john.j.hisnanick@census.gov|301-763-2295) or Katy Giefer (katherine.g.giefer@census.gov|301-763-3218).
