Murph Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The envelope has been sitting on my desk a few days. Haven't opened it yet. It's too thin. I bet they want me to do it on line. I think the last time I made them send me the paper one. The Post Office needs the work these day, it's helping create jobs. Plus, it forces them to file it somewhere physical, or upload it themselves. I'm cool with the numbers and stuff, but I swear the last one asked about stupid stuff like toilets, and private stuff like money. I haven't opened it yet...

badbluesplayer Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I did it online. No big deal. They just want to know names and a little basic info. I remember ignoring the last one 'cause it had a bunch of BS questions. I figured I'd do it this time so we can get all that cash - or whatever you get - coming our way, lol.

The timing of this is unfortunate because on one hand people have bigger things on their minds right now, but on the other, they also have nothing better to do. It'll be interesting to see the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm so skeptical of phony scam solicitations in the Mail or Online that I haven't opened it.. How do you know when it's not a Scam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The card in the mail provides you with a code. just go to the gov website and enter that code. It takes 5 minutes and about the only personal thing it asks about is gender and race. I think I remember only 2 options for gender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On-line, no questions about income, or how many toilets in the house, five minutes max. Really, Murph, just do it, if only to get it over with.

tx-ogre Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I did ours online a couple of days ago. Only took a few minutes. And it seemed a lot less invasive than the last one. If you don’t complete it, you run the risk of having a Census worker showing up at your door to do it in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know when it's not a Scam? If your on the www.2020census.gov website, then it is not a scam. The thing is that if you don't respond, then they kill you with repeat mailings and THEN start coming to your door. No thank you -- fill it out on line, and just be done (for me anyway).

I'm a rebel... I'm totally with ya, I just did it to avoid more BS. They remove ya from the voting registries if you don't comply. it's ridiculous really, we all know why they are doing this, but I don't want to get political..so... nuff said.

But the Corona deal really shut down their knocking on people's doors. And the American Community Survey asks your adjusted gross income, your name ("but it's annonymous"), where you work, when do you leave and return from work, the names/ages of yourself, and all others in the household, and everyone's phone number. Law on the books allowing for an up-to $5k fine for not complying, though there has not been a penalization for it since 1970. A congressman, Poe, from Texas, challenged the fine, and won his case successfully in 2015 & 2016, I think it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
