In the 2023 SIPP, there is a case in which Social Security is reported as being received on behalf of a child at all months on the adult’s record (ESSCMNYN), but the corresponding values are not filled in on the child’s record (ESSKDCOVFLG, ESSCADLTPTR). Users can use the below pseudocode logic to correct the case.

IF SSUID = “71728543834822” AND PNUM = 103 AND MONTHCODE IN (10:12) THEN DO;

ESSKDCOVFLG = 1;

ASSKDCOVFLG = 3;

ESSCADLTPTR = 101;

ASSCADLTPTR = 3;

END;
