Census survey not a scam

A viewer recently e-mailed with questions about something called, "The American community Survey." She wanted to know if this survey was a scam or legit.

The answer: This is legit!

The American Community Survey is sent through the U.S. Census Bureau. It's a separate part of the 2010 Census program. Response to both surveys is required by law.

Unlike the ten-year Census, The American Community Survey is ongoing, every month. It asks for more specific information from you, like how much your home is worth or how much you spend every month on utilities; however, it will never ask you for your personal information like social security number of bank account.
