The 2019 SIPP included a series of questions about parental leave for the first time since the 2008 panel. While prior panels had only asked women about parental leave usage, both men and women were asked parental leave questions beginning in 2019 when the questions were included again. The purpose of this paper is to note basic distributions and corresponding allocation rates for the parental leave content in 2019. It also documents ways in which procedures used in 2019 differ from those used in the 2008 panel, as well as the resulting impacts on the data. It concludes by discussing enhancements to the collection of parental leave data being made beginning in the 2022 survey year in an effort to address some of these differences and issues.
