What is the purpose of the 2013 Census Test?

The purpose of the 2013 Census Test is to explore alternative ways to contact households and collect data, in an effort to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Your answers will only be used for statistical purposes, and for no other purpose.

Why was I selected?

Your address, not you personally, was chosen as part of a randomly selected sample. Your address represents thousands of other households like yours.

How will I know that the phone call is from a legitimate Census Bureau employee?

This survey has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). For this survey, the OMB approval number is 0607-####. Anybody that contacts you should be able to provide this same OMB number. For more information about determining if you are part of a legitimate Census Bureau survey, visit www.census.gov/survey_participants and click the “Household Surveys” tab.

What confidentiality protection do I have?

Federal law protects your privacy and keeps your answers confidential (Title 13, United States Code, Section 9 and 214). The answers you provide cannot be obtained by law enforcement, tax collection agencies, or marketers. Your answers cannot be used in court. They cannot be obtained with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Please visit www.census.gov/privacy to learn more about our privacy policy and data protection.

What laws authorize you to conduct this survey?
