BTW, I filled out mine this am, even though I never got anything in the mail. There is a spot below where it asks for your mailed census number to click if you never received anything, like me.

I mailed mine roughly a week ago. Funny how they can’t seem to handle POs or HCs. It was far less intrusive than others I’ve filed.
Hmm? We did ours a couple weeks ago online. We received two USPS mailed notices: one half page, one 3-fold business size. The letters from the U.S. Census Bureau were dated March 12, 2020 (with a respond by April 1 date) and March 16, 2020 (with a respond now notation). The letters are printed on a light blue background with a white paper border and black text. The half page white envelope was alarming with a bold bordered note of “YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW”. I bet that scared a lot of people.
