In support of the Census Bureaus
goals, the 2008 Coverage Followup (CFU) Telephone Operation will
serve to clarify initial enumeration responses in an effort to
improve within household coverage by identifying erroneous
enumerations and omissions. The CFU Telephone Operation, which will
be conducted May 1, 2008 through July 25, 2008, will be
administered through computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI).
Approximately 66,000 households will be included in the 2008 CFU
telephone universe. When anyone is identified as potentially
counted or omitted in error, we then ask questions to establish the
appropriate census residence of that person according to the
residence rules in effect for the 2008 Census Dress
Rehearsal.
