Basic Monthly CPS microdata are typically published by the Census Bureau within 7-10 days of the monthly Employment Situation Report (see [Employment Situation release schedule](https://www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/)). The IPUMS CPS team works to incorporate newly released microdata as quickly as possible. For basic monthly surveys, this is typically 2-3 business days after the source microdata are published. Watch the [IPUMS CPS revision history](https://cps.ipums.org/cps-action/revisions) page for release announcements. ---

The IPUMS CPS team is aware of the release of the COVID supplement measures from the Census Bureau and is working to integrate these variables. We plan to release these files along with the October monthly data. I have updated the pinned post to reflect the updated status of the COVID data.
