Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

This variable is the number of years since the most recent tetanus injection. If you look at the distribution, it goes out to 40 years, but 99.4% of the responses are in the past 20 years. I believe 20 years is an arbitrary boundary for saying that any larger numbers are probably due to recall error.

I just copied (with some minor editing) the GitHub construction, which is based on the CSPro construction. I don't know who decided on a boundary of 20 but it gives a match to the report.
