<br /> Mental Health and <br />Wellness Action Team <br /> <br />Ramsey County and the City of Saint Paul are committed to helping the 2020 Census achieve its goal of counting “everyone <br />once, only once, and in the right place.” To do this, they have formed a joint Complete Count Committee (CCC) with the <br />purpose of working together to achieve a complete count of all our residents. <br />The CCC brings together diverse representatives from local government, community organizations, faith‐based groups, <br />education and the local business community. Working together, CCC members will raise awareness about how the census <br />works, the importance of an accurate, complete count and the confidentiality of census data. <br />Below are FAQs that will be helpful as you begin/continue your work with the CCC. <br /> <br /> <br />What is the census? <br />The U.S. Census is a count of all residents in the United States, required by the U.S. Constitution to be taken every 10 years. <br />Why is participating in the census important? <br />A complete count of Minnesota residents in the 2020 Census will ensure: <br /> Equal representation in Congress and the state legislature. <br /> Fair distribution of federal funding to states for critical programs. <br /> Data to make smart decisions. <br />How is the information that is collected in the census used? <br />The information is used to determine political representation and federal funding distribution for governments, including at <br />the state and local levels. In 2020, it will determine how many congressional representatives Minnesota will have for the <br />next decade. It is also used for statistics that help the government, business, and others make plans and decisions. <br />There has been talk about funding, how much money is distributed to Minnesota? <br />At least $1,532 per person is allocated by the federal government to Minnesota each year. If one person is not counted, <br />Minnesota will miss out on $15,320 over the course of 10 years. <br />Are my answers safe? <br />The Census Bureau collects data for statistical purposes only. They combine your responses with information from other <br />households or businesses to produce statistics, which never identify your household, any person in your household, or <br />business. Your information is CONFIDENTIAL. They never identify you individually. <br />Title 13 of the U.S. Code protects the confidentiality of all your information and violating this law is a crime with severe <br />penalties. In addition, other federal laws, including the Confidential Statistical Efficiency Act and the Privacy Act reinforce <br />these protections. The penalty for unlawful disclosure is a fine of up to $250,000 or imprisonment of up to 5 years, or both. <br /> <br /> <br />R A M S E Y C O U N T Y – C I T Y O F S A I N T P A U L <br />2020 Census <br />FAQs <br />Joint Complete Count <br />Committee
