The Census Bureau's plans to restore the SIPP panel size to 20,000 households, to restore the overlapping panel design beginning in 1991, and to oversample poverty households in the post-1990 census SIPP redesign could all help make the survey more useful for microsimulation modeling of income support pno~ams.~4 Yet even these changes will not produce He sample sizes that are provided for microsimulation and other analysis by the March CPS, particularly if the proposal to expand the CPS sample were revived. Data Delivery Another comparative advantage for microsimulation modeling of the CPS data has to do with data delivery.

It is likely that SIPP will never be as timely a resource for microsimulation modeling as the CPS. One more point although more relevant for modeling retirement income rather than income support programs should be made with regard to data delivery: missing exact-match files.
