SPMSNAP_19RYALT is an 5-digit numeric variable.
Description
SPMSNAP_19RYALT reports the face value of benefits received by the family from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This information is used to construct the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM).
This variable is an alternative version of SPMSNAP that was re-released for the 2020 ASEC which reflects methodological changes first introduced with the 2021 CPS ASEC sample. For more information, see our documentation on the re-release of the 2019 SPM research file in the 2020 ASEC that describes methodological improvements that impact SPM resource and threshold variables. The SPM reference year is the calendar year to which the income, taxes, transfers, expenses, and poverty thresholds apply.
