Name: USUBFAM
Label: CPS subfamily number
Text: This variable is a flag for subfamily assignment and is used in creating legal family ID numbers. Values of USUBFAM are created based on HHCOUNT (number of persons in a household), SPOUSE, PARENT, and OTHREL. If a person is the reference person, he/she is placed in the first subfamily. The program cycles through the household roster, searching for spouses and children. Spouses and children are placed in the same subfamily unit as the initial person. Other relatives are also picked up and put into the same subfamily unit as the initial person.
