Abstract

I estimate the share of eligible individuals who received unemployment insurance (UI) benefits during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. I use individual data on reported recipiency from the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS-ASEC) survey to validate a UI eligibility algorithm that I then apply to the monthly CPS data. Combined with administrative data on actual payments and adjustments for fraud, I estimate that 88 percent of eligible individuals received UI benefits. When I calculate recipiency by program, I find 98 percent of individuals who were eligible for standard UI received benefits, whereas only 76 percent of individuals who were eligible for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance received benefits.

Covid-19大流行期间的失业保险领取

我估计在新冠肺炎大流行的第一年，领取失业保险（UI）福利的符合条件的个人的比例。我使用当前人口调查年度社会和经济补充（CPS-ASEC）调查中报告的个人数据来验证UI资格算法，然后将其应用于每月的CPS数据。结合实际付款和欺诈调整的行政数据，我估计88%的符合条件的个人获得了UI福利。当我按项目计算领取率时，我发现98%有资格获得标准UI的个人获得了福利，而只有76%有资格获得流行病失业援助的人获得了福利。

期刊介绍： The goal of the National Tax Journal (NTJ) is to encourage and disseminate high quality original research on governmental tax and expenditure policies. Articles published in the regular March, June and September issues of the journal, as well as articles accepted for publication in special issues of the journal, are subject to professional peer review and include economic, theoretical, and empirical analyses of tax and expenditure issues with an emphasis on policy implications. The NTJ has been published quarterly since 1948 under the auspices of the National Tax Association (NTA). Most issues include an NTJ Forum, which consists of invited papers by leading scholars that examine in depth a single current tax or expenditure policy issue. The December issue is devoted to publishing papers presented at the NTA’s annual Spring Symposium; the articles in the December issue generally are not subject to peer review.
