The 2014-15 Eating and Health Module (EHM) was collected under OMB control #1220-0187 with an expiration of June 30, 2016. This clearance was extended to allow collection of the EHM data through June 2016. BLS is seeking clearance to continue collection of the EHM through December 2016.

INCOME1 is a variable that provides information on the respondent's household income. A respondent is asked if his or her monthly household income is greater or less than a given amount. This amount approximates 185 percent of the poverty threshold for a household the size of the respondent's household. The fill amount changes depending on when the interview was conducted because poverty thresholds are revised annually by the U.S. Census Bureau.

INCOME2 is the second of two questions relating to income on the EH Module. Respondents are asked if their monthly household income is greater or less than a given amount (different from the amount asked in INCOME1). This second amount approximates 130 percent of the poverty threshold for a household the size of the respondent's household. The given income amount is determined by the number of people living in the household. This amount changes depending on when the interview was conducted because poverty thresholds are revised annually by the U.S. Census Bureau.
