Starting March 12, 2020, Maplewood households will start to receive an initial invitation to respond to the 2020 Census. Your letter should arrive by March 20th. We encourage all households to respond as soon as they receive their invitation. The invitation will include instructions in 13 languages on how to respond online or by phone. Note: some invitations may include a paper questionnaire. Whether your house responds online, by phone or mail, it is important to respond right away. If you do not respond, your household will receive a series of additional reminders, including a paper questionnaire in mid-April. If you fail to respond to that notice, Census takers will follow up in person at households to collect responses. Please find below a timeline of how and when the Census Bureau will invite households to complete the 2020 Census questionnaire: ·

• March 12-20: Initial invitations to respond will be delivered by the U.S. Postal Service.
• March 16-24: Reminder letters will be delivered.
• March 26-April 3

Reminder postcards will be delivered to households that have not responded. ·

• April 8-16: Reminder letters and paper questionnaires will be delivered to remaining households that have not responded. ·
• April 20-27: Final reminder postcards will be delivered to households that have not yet responded before census takers follow up in person.

Remember - You Matter, Be Counted - Everyone in Maplewood Counts
