In April 2010, some households may receive a second Census form. Below are key points about the form and what consumers should do if they receive another one:
Why the Census Bureau sends a second form
· The follow-up form is sent to areas that have a low return rate.
· Mailing a second questionnaire to nonresponding cases leads to higher response rates.
· It reminds consumers who haven't submitted the first form to fill it out and mail it back.
What you should do if you receive a second form
· Households that have already returned their form should ignore the second mailing.
· Households should only complete and return one form. They may use either the first or the second form that they have received.
