TRIM3 Simulations of Full-Year Uninsured Children and their Eligibility of Medicaid and SCHIP
(Report)
|
Author(s): Kenneth Finegold and Linda Giannarelli |
This paper estimates the number of full-year uninsured children and the share of them eligible for Medicaid or SCHIP using the TRIM3 microsimulation model. This model applies detailed state-specific rules to determine which individuals represented in the Current Population Survey (CPS) are eligible for Medicaid and/or SCHIP. Other key aspects of the model are the correction for underreporting of Medicaid, SCHIP, and other public benefits in the CPS and the imputation of immigrant legal status. Corrections for underreporting involve simulating additional enrollees so that reported coverage on the CPS matches totals given in the program administrative data. Imputation for immigrant legal status is required because this information is not provided in the CPS but is required to estimate eligibility. |
