Beginning today, people across the country will start receiving information on participating electronically in the 2020 Census. It is important to fill out the Census while still protecting yourself from any fraudulent activity:

• Invitations to participate electronically will be sent via regular mail. Do not respond to any emails or other electronic invitations.
  


• If you do receive something electronically, do not click on any links or go to any websites to fill in your information other than the official census website, which is my2020census.gov.
  


• Do not provide your social security number or any financial account numbers including credit card information. The census does not ask for this information, they do not require or solicit any sort of payment.
