College students living outside of the United States on Census Day due to study abroad or other programs are not counted in the census. College students who are foreign citizens living and attending college in the United States should be counted at their on- or off-campus address in the same way as their U.S. counterparts. To help ensure an accurate count, the Census Bureau is asking colleges and universities to contact their students and remind them to respond to the 2020 Census.

Take the time while the kids are at home to fill out the Census for you and for their future. Children under 5 are one of the most traditionally undercounted groups in past Censuses because of the common misconception that children aren't counted in the Census. The truth is that EVERYONE counts, including kids, toddlers, and even babies! Over the next 10 years, these children are going to grow up and benefit directly from the the few minutes it takes to fill out the Census today!

Although the U.S. Supreme Court prevented the Trump administration from including a question asking whether a person is a U.S. citizen in the 2020 Census, immigrants continue to express fear and confusion about filling out the Census. These resources help demystify myths surrounding the 2020 Census and why it matters that immigrants get counted.

"We wanted to take the chance to thank our healthcare workers while our communities continue to fight against COVID-19. Census and American Community Service data help determine hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding for health care programs each year. Examples of the largest programs supported by these data include:
• Medicaid: The formula that calculates Medicaid reimbursement levels includes the average income per person in each state from the census-derived Bureau of Economic Analysis.
• Medicare Part B: Medicare uses the Geographic Practice Cost Indices, which are based on ACS data, to determine reimbursement rates based on how much it costs to practice in a certain area.
• Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP): CHIP uses the HHS poverty guidelines and the CPS ASEC to determine eligibility and allocation of funds.
• Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC): WIC uses the HHS poverty guidelines for eligibility, the census-derived Consumer Price Index to set monthly food vouchers’ prices, and the ACS to decide how much funding each state receives.
• Health Centers Program: This program depends on the census-derived Index of Medical Underservice from the HHS to determine which groups in which areas are underserved.
• Reproductive Health Programs: Title X Family Planning Grants, Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grants, the 340B Drug Pricing Program, and Social Services Block Grants (SSBG) all use census-derived population counts in order to allocate their funds.
