If a census worker comes to your home, they will be wearing a 2010 Census identification badge, and will carry an official tote bag. Door-to-door workers will ask only the same 10 questions on the form that is mailed. The census workers will not ask for your social security number or any banking information. For more information, go to www.22010Census.gov.</description>
