SCF Missing Some of the Wealth Gains?
• Financial Accounts (FA) aggregates show stronger gains in household sector net worth o FA (‘10 Q1 to ‘13 Q1) +21% aggregate nominal o SCF shows about +12% for 2010-2013
• SCF respondents may not have fully built in recovery in housing and stock prices oNational house price indexes disagree on timing o Some correction for prior survey over-valuations?
• Also, continued strong growth since survey

Problem
• Approximately 10% of the population report being “unbanked”
• See respondents with debit cards, direct deposits, or auto withdrawals, who then say “no” to checking account
• Increasing use of pre-paid cards with no associated account?
Solution
• Add questions on ownership of reloadable prepaid debit card and government benefit card (e.g. EBT, DirectExpress)
• Ask about prepaid debit card balances

Education Loans Problem
• Missing crucial details about education loans
Solution
• Added question(s) about who within the family had their education funded by the particular loan
• Added question(s) about whether it is a federal government loan (Stafford, Parent Plus, etc.)
• Added question(s) about whether the education program was completed (Yes/No/Still enrolled)
• Restructure and modify repayment questions to better identify (for example) respondents participating in grace period, income-based repayment, loan forgiveness, or other programs

Response to Financial Shocks Problem
• Household borrowing and spending responses to financial constraints is not well understood
Solution:
• Two-part “hypothetical” debt repayment decision:
1. Assuming you experience a financial emergency and are unable to pay your bills, your primary response would be? • Borrow (or borrow more) • Cut spending • Postpone/be late on payments • Withdraw from existing accounts/sell assets?
2. What sources/accounts/assets/spending categories would those be? (prioritized list of two items) • Follow-up tailored to the primary response category
