Using the MSIS IDs that meet the criteria from STEP 1, join to segment VARIABLE-DEMOGRAPHIC-ELG00003 by keeping records that satisfy the following criteria:

1a. VARIABLE-DEMOGRAPHIC-ELEMENT-EFF-DATE <= last day of the DQ report month

2a. VARIABLE-DEMOGRAPHIC-ELEMENT-END-DATE >= last day of the DQ report month OR missing

OR

1b. VARIABLE-DEMOGRAPHIC-ELEMENT-EFF-DATE is missing

STEP 4: Primary language code is not English or Spanish

Of the MSIS IDs that meet the criteria from STEP 3, restrict to segments where:
