Support Providers: 2005
Data are from the 2004 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), a national longitudinal survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. Interviews for the Support for Nonhousehold Members Topical Module were collected from June through September of 2005 in the fifth wave (interview) of the 2004 SIPP panel. The population represented is the noninstitutionalized population of the United States and financial support payments refer to those made in the 12 months prior to interview.
