The Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) is a
national, longitudinal household survey conducted by the Census
Bureau. SIPP serves as a tool to evaluate the effectiveness of
government-sponsored social programs and to analyze the impacts
of actual or proposed modifications to those programs. SIPP was
designed to fill a need for data that would give policy makers
and researchers a much better grasp of how effectively government
programs were reaching their target populations, how
participation in different programs overlapped, and to what
extent and under what circumstances people transitioned into and
out of these programs. SIPP was also designed to answer questions
about the short-term dynamics of employment, living arrangements,
and economic well-being.

The Census Bureau has reengineered SIPPâ€"fielding the initial
redesigned survey in 2014. This report evaluates the new design
compared with the old design. It compares key estimates across
the two designs, evaluates the content of the redesigned SIPP and
the impact of the new design on respondent burden, and considers
content changes for future improvement of SIPP.
