Cross-Wave Social Security Weights have been updated

March 16, 2021

The Cross-Wave Social Security Weights have been updated to include cross-wave weight information for 2004-2016. Two respondent weights are provided for each wave, one for respondents who have a SS linkage in that wave and one for respondents who have ever had a SS linkage. The weights are defined for respondents who have a positive respondent weight in that wave (either core or nursing home weight) and who have the relevant linkage.
