I live in PA, just received the federal census in the mail with a note on the envelope that says it's mandatory to complete and return. It's 28 pages long and asks lots of personal questions.
Has anyone else received one? I don't want to complete it, but don't want to get in trouble either.

The US Federal Census, as required by Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the US Constitution, is conducted every 10 years. The next Census is due to occur in 2010. I seriously doubt whatever you just received is legitimate. It may be the latest scam to obtain personal information.
You can contact the Census Bureau to ask. The link below is the Contacts Page of the US Census Bureau website.

Our government only has a census every 10 years. The last one was in 2000 - the next will be in 2010.
Somebody is trying to get your personal information. I'd take the mail back to the Post Office.

I live in PA and haven't received it yet. You can shoot me an email and I will let you know if I receive one over the next few weeks.
