Starting the first week of May, census enumerators will begin going door to door to follow up with those who have not yet responded to the 2010 Census. Here is what you should know:

• Census workers will try reaching someone in the home at least three times to fill out the questionnaire. If they are unable to reach someone to verify occupants, the enumerator will ask a knowledgeable source, such as the Town Hall or Post Office if they have any information about the residents.
• All census enumerators will be wearing identification badges - you can also ask to see a driver's license to confirm the name on the badge matches their photo or verify their employment with the census by contacting the local census office. Please report all concerns about the legitimacy of a census worker to local law enforcement.
• Do not provide Social Security, banking information or a signature - the census enumerator will only ask the ten simple questions that were included on the census form that residents received in the mail. Any request for Social Security or banking information should be immediately reported to local law enforcement.
• Census staff do not have to enter the home - all information can be given at the door.
• Census follow-up will end in early July - for more information contact your local census office:

• Orange, Sullivan and Delaware County residents - call the Newburgh Local Census Office at 845-476-3030.
• Broome, Tioga and Tomkins County residents - call the Elmira Local Census Office at 607-735-5441.
• Ulster County residents - call the Poughkeepsie Local Census Office at 845-878-8240.
