RE: AHS: Electric Billing Variables

I can confirm that the BILLxx variables are not on the 2013 PUF. The BILLx variables (BILLG, BILLF, etc.) are on the PUF. I don't remember why they were dropped. I'm checking to see if I can find documentation about that.

I have downloaded the flat file, and when I run a proc contents on this file, those variables do not exist.

The variables:
BILLE
BILLF
BILLG
BILLO
BILLT
BILLW
Are there, but not the more detailed ones.

Trying to use the following variables in the 2013 AHS Data:

BILLGE
BILLOE
BILLFE
BILLTE
BILLWE
BILLWT

I thought these variables were in the file newhouse, but they appear not to be in the publicly available data set. Am I overlooking them, do they have to be calculated somehow, or are they not publicly available?

Thanks,
Douglas White
