U.S. CENSUS SURVEY NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE OR BY PHONE Eastern Shore of Virginia households can now answer the short U.S. Census sur- vey, which usually takes less than ten minutes. For the first time, the survey can be answered online at https://my2020census.gov/ or by phone. For each individual counted in the census, Eastern Shore local government and nonprofits combined receive at least $20,000 over ten years per person. The Accomack and Northamp- ton Complete Count Committee recently launched outreach programs to ensure everyone on the Eastern Shore of Virginia is counted. There is also the option of completing the survey by phone. Phone lines are open every day from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. EST. To begin, call 844-330-2020, or the number associated with the preferred language, which can be found on the census website. The survey is also mobile-device friendly and can be completed on a smartphone or tablet. A Census Bureau mailing may arrive in the mailbox with a 12-digit identification code to start the survey, however, the residential address will also start the survey. ESCC Staff and Friends Paint Windows Households are encouraged to take the survey online or by phone now, otherwise, a census enumerator will visit residences to ensure each household is counted. To Cheer Elderly at Heritage Hall For questions or assistance taking the survey online, call the Eastern Shore Public Eastern Shore Community College staff got together with family and friends to paint the windows of residents’ rooms at Heritage Library at 787-3400.
