IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING 2010 CENSUS
Date: Sunday, February 21 @ 08:41:33 CST
Topic: Privacy
Approximately 134 million households will be mailed census forms on March 1. The form includes 10 questions about your age, date of birth, race and whether you own or rent a home. It does not ask for your Social Security number or information about your taxes or income.
If you do not return a completed census form by April 1, it is likely that a census taker will either call or come to your door to obtain the information.
Observe the following safety tips:
Do not provide your Social Security number or any financial information, including credit card or bank account information, to anyone claiming to represent the U.S. Census Bureau.
Never invite a census taker into your home.
All census takers carry official government badges.
Census workers are supposed to provide you with a letter from the Census Director on official letterhead.
The Census Bureau will not contact you by e-mail, so any website that pops up disguised as a census survey is fraudulent. The Census Bureau does not solicit information over the Internet.
