Round 20 will be a predominantly telephone survey. We anticipate that approximately 90 percent of interviews will be completed by telephone, with the remaining interviews being conducted in person.
The round 20 questionnaire will resemble the round 19 questionnaire with few modifications. New questions for the round 20 questionnaire include questions on hours worked from home, on the value of a job, on labor market volatility due to Coronavirus pandemic, on contracting of Coronavirus, on vaccines, on applications for Unemployment Compensation, on criminal background checks, on internet access and on the respondents previous on experience with NLSY97s Coronavirus supplemental survey. In addition, we have made attempts to
streamline the questionnaire so that it will be shorter and less burdensome for respondents. To this end, fewer questions will be asked about college enrollment, non-compete agreements, device ownership, chronic pain, and the use of pain killers.

I. Background The Occupational Requirements Survey ORS is a nationwide survey that the Bureau of Labor Statistics BLS
is conducting at the request of the Social Security Administration SSA. Three years of data collection and capture for the ORS will start in 2021 and end in mid-2024.
Estimates produced from the data collected by the ORS will be used by the SSA to update occupational requirements data for administering the Social Security Disability Insurance SSDI and Supplemental Security Income SSI programs.
