AARP MA eblast on US Census jobs; FAQ on Census earnings and benefits; Upcoming briefing for MA Legislators
02/11/20
Does the US Census count matter for Massachusetts? Absolutely! Everything from how many Congressional Districts we have to the allocation of certain federal means-tested dollars to the state and more. Thanks to our friends at AARP Massachusetts (why reinvent the wheel?), we are sending on their recent eblast re temporary US Census jobs and volunteer opportunities.
Does US Census income count for SNAP, Fuel Assistance, Fed/State Housing or DTA Cash benefits? NO! See MLRI and Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights infographic attached, How Does Working for the Census Affect my Benefits?. Other programs, it depends. (Note, this infographic is for Massachusetts resident only, each state may handle it differently).
Is Massachusetts gearing up to do a robust US Census? Yes! See upcoming 2/26/20 briefing hosted by Mass Voter Table, designed for Legislators and their aides. Please urge your Member to attend! For more information and to get involved in the Census, voter education and voter registration efforts in MA, contact Mass Voter Table at http://mavotertable.org/ When you do social media, please use this hashtag: #MassCounts.
