I think Penelope is speaking about the CTPP 3-year data product. It is
true that the CB changed the disability question for 2009. Below is what
I found on the Product changes page relating to the the 1-year ACS
http://www.census.gov/acs/www/data_documentation/2009_product_changes/
------------------
Disability
* There will be 5 new detailed tables, only published in the 2009
ACS1-year data products.
* The disability question was modified in 2008, representing a
conceptual and empirical break from earlier years of the ACS. The Census
Bureau does not recommend any comparisons to disability data from the
2007 ACS and earlier.
The new tables include
1. Work Experience by Disability Status and Type (1 tables)
2. Age by Ratio of Income to Poverty Level in the Past 12 Months by
Disability Status and Type (2 tables)
3. Age by Disability Status by Health Insurance Coverage Status (3 tables)

Yes, there is no disability data in the 2006 - 2008
ACS due to changes
in the collection question. There will not be disability data in any
multi-year estimate that crosses the question change.

It's just as bad to not make a plan as to blindly follow the one you
already have.

Subject: [CTPP] looking for data about "disabled populations" for EJ
analysis in the ACS --- does anyone know the table?
I'm looking for disability data to use in our TIP EJ evaluation, I can't
find any disability data in the ACS. Has anyone else found this?
