2008 Panel: Clarification of Unemployment Compensation (EUCTYP5, EUCTYP6, ER05, and ER06) Universe

The universe for EUECTYP5 (receipt of state unemployment compensation) and EUECTYP6 (receipt of supplemental unemployment benefits) was listed incorrectly in the 2008 Panel Core File Dictionary.

The universes for EUECTYP5 (receipt of state unemployment compensation) and EUECTYP6 (receipt of supplemental unemployment benefits) include all respondents aged 15 and older at the end of the reference period who received unemployment compensation at any time during the 4 months of the reference period. 

The universe for ER05 (receipt of state unemployment compensation in this month) was listed correctly in the 2008 Panel Core File Dictionary as all respondents aged 15 and older at the end of the reference period indicating the receipt of state unemployment compensation sometime during the reference period (EUECTYP5=1).

The universe for ER06 (receipt of supplemental unemployment benefits in this month) was listed correctly in the 2008 Panel Core File Dictionary as all respondents aged 15 and older at the end of the reference period indicating the receipt of supplemental unemployment benefits sometime during the  reference period (EUECTYP6=1).
