On the envelope it came in and I quote "YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW" and yes it was in caps.

I'd throw it in the trash. Either it's a scam out for your personal info, or it's an illegitimate demand by government.

Dude, that's creepy alright.  And from the US Census Bureau.

Sample survey can be found here (http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/questionnaires/2011/Quest11.pdf).

One appeared in the mailbox that may or may not be mine back during the census. As I understand the sequence of events, it wound up in the garbage. Later a follow-up visit was conducted attempting to ascertain why the form was not received.

They may have been told that the form had been promptly and dutifully submitted. It's entirely possible that, when they asked that another one be filled out, they were told, "The first one was free - any further foolishness will cost you".

The bottom line was that they went away - empty handed, and that's the last that was heard from them.

Allegedly  ::thumbsup::

I got some form from the Dept of Commerce a couple years ago. Because I am an independent contractor, it was asking me all kinds of questions about my business. How many employees, type of insurance provided, yadda-yadda. I have been an independent sole proprietor my entire life with a couple noteworthy diversions into employee-hood. But essentially, it's just me, and always has been.

This form they were demanding I fill out according to federal law was asking me all kinds of questions that in the view of my accountant were trying to funnel me into providing thin evidence that I was not actually an independent contractor, but rather an employee of my clients. The questions were chosen just so, and worded just so, that honestly answering them would have given the false impression that I was not an independent contractor, even though according to the strict rules designating contractor status, I qualify in every way.

It felt eerily like the government was probing for an opportunity to pounce. I threw the form in the garbage. I received another one with a stronger demand, and then a follow up letter. That was it. Never heard from them again.
