Local representatives of the U.S. Census Bureau will visit selected area households beginning April 1 to conduct its Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), according to Stanley D. Moore, director of the Chicago office. SIPP is a major nationwide continuing survey introduced in the fall of 1983. It began with 20,000 households and now in­ cludes about 38,000. The survey will be among the nation's largest when it's goal of 55,000 is reached in April, 1986. The Census Bureau publishes periodic reports providing in­ formation concerning jobs and earnings; economic effects of unemployment, disability and retirement; tax effect on per­ sonal spending; and par­ ticipation in programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps. Information from SIPP helps policymakers and ad­ ministrators determine how well government programs are serving the public and how changes will affect the public. Here are some facts based on SIPP interviews (the sample size limits accurate reporting to national figures only): -About 85 percent of the U.S. population in the fourth quarter of 1983 was covered by a health insurance plan; a private plan covered 75 percent. -About 86 percent of whites were covered by a health plan, compared with 78 percent of blaclcs and 71 percent of Hispanics.
