Do You Know?

On April 1, 2020, the United States Census Bureau will begin the 2020 census and ask everyone to complete a questionnaire. A census is taken every 10 years to count the country’s population. Funding for many senior centers and other senior support services is tied to census results.

You might see census workers in your neighborhood now. Be cautious, though, to only share personal information with someone from the bureau. Workers have a photo ID badge with a U.S. Department of Commerce watermark and an expiration date on it. The bureau will never ask for your social security number, your bank account or credit card numbers, or money or donations. For more information, visit https://2020census.gov.
