The CQA IVR and live CSR support on all language lines will end on July 31, 2020.
Most residents throughout the country will begin receiving their invitations to respond to the Census starting Thursday, March 12. The invitation will include instructions for responding to the 2020 Census online, with households in areas less likely to respond online receiving a paper questionnaire that they can return in the mail. By mid-April, all households that have not yet responded will receive a paper questionnaire.
The Census Bureau asks that you include everyone who lives in your home as of April 1 and residents are asked to use the Census ID included in the invitation. You can also respond without it by providing your address. For more information, please visit 2020census.gov or census.gov.
