An extra Census tidbit....PSA
Just wanted to pass the following info along.
Some of us may have received a census form back in January, that was required, by law, to be returned by February 1st.
I did and thought that this was the census itself and that for some reason I was just receiving it early.
I was concerned when I got my census earlier this week and it took me quite a few phone calls to find out what the issue was.
The one that I had received in January was the American Community Survey. Both this survey and the 2010 census are required to be sent back.
Only some households receive a American Community Survey so most of you probably didnt get one.
The American Community Survey is longer and more involved than the Census and is only sent out to 3 million households (or something like that)...

10 years ago I received the longer census forms. This time I received the smaller version. I got it yesterday and sent it back today.

Its really important that people mail them back right away, for every house that does not mail it back it costs tax payers approx. $90!

Re: An extra Census tidbit....PSA
I'll do it when I get to it.
I don't have time to drop everything and fill out a form.
I barely have time to eat dinner these days..
They could give us some more time - they act like it's such a rush.
Send it out earlier then.
What if it got delayed in the mail?

Wow.
Honestly, it took me less than 5 minutes to fill it out -- probably more like 2. Not a big deal at all (and I'm pretty farking busy these days).

I don't have mine yet.
I have to check the recycling bag, but I think DH just emptied it on Tuesday.

I got the American Community Survey as well, filled it out and sent it back. Then about 2 weeks later got the census itself and after watching the news last night thought I had been the victim of a scam on the first one I got! But it was legit. I was so relieved.

Exactly.....
So did I.....
It took me forever to track down the information. I called the number on the census package and the woman that I spoke to had know idea what I was talking about...
Hence my post...
