| IN001 INTRODUCTION
| Our goal is to improve policymaking by informing decision makers about how the public is
| responding to policy changes and life changes. You are part of a randomly selected sample,
| especially chosen to represent the U.S. both geographically and demographically. To make sure that
| this selection process is working properly, we would like you to complete this short questionnaire
| about your household, your background, and your work.By keeping this information current, we will
| be able to compare our panel to U.S. Census data. This will ensure that our results accurately
| reflect what is happening across the nation. We will also be able to assess how different types of
| households are affected by policy changes and life changes. In the future when you login, we will
| ask you to update us about any important changes to your household or your work as described in
| this questionnaire.
