Note: Coefficient estimates are taken from a probit regression as described in eq. (1). Marginal effects are reported. Regressions are restricted to those who worked at least one week in the year prior to the survey. Regressions include age, race, marital status, whether the individual is included in a health insurance plan in the previous year, whether or not the individual has a pension, and a full set of state, year, industry, occupation, and education dummies and a constant. Robust standard errors in parentheses are clustered on veteran and year. “Sig. Different” reports whether the veteran*post coefficients for the two populations are statistically significantly different from one another at the 5% level. The regression universe in “By Estimated Means Test Cutoff - Above” is restricted to those persons who are above the income means test needed to meet the VA requirement prior to the reform. The regression universe in “By Estimated Means Test Cutoff - Below” is restricted to those below the same income means test. The regression universe in “Marital Status - Married” is restricted to married men. The universe in “Marital Status - Single” is restricted to not married men.
