Every ten years, we must fill out a census form. Every state receives money from the federal government that funds such things as: Infrastructure Public education Special education programs Pell grants Medicaid and Medicare Section 8 WIC and SNAP Unemployment insurance Supportive housing for the elderly Community development Wildlife preservation Public housing, etc. If you have ever felt that our state needed more funding for any of the above items, then you MUST complete and return your census form. Regardless of your citizenship status or age, every resident counts. A form would have been already mailed directly to your household. For easier processing, it can now be done via the Internet. To fill out a form online, please visit www.my2020census.gov.
