SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the repeated requests for Census completion after individuals have already submitted their forms online. Users report receiving multiple mailings despite confirming their online submissions, indicating a significant lag in government processing. The consensus suggests that contacting the Census office directly can resolve these issues, as users who did so experienced a cessation of further notices. This highlights potential inefficiencies in the Census follow-up process.

My household filled out the Census stuff online weeks ago.

We've been getting requests to complete it by mail, saying we haven't filled it out yet.

Massive lag in government processing of this stuff? Or, should we be worried?

We had this happen to us (in NZ). I rang the number and said we filled it out online. They said 'okay, no problems.' Then a few weeks later they mailed us again asking us to fill forms out. Again I rang and said 'look, we've already been in touch - we've filled out the census online so LEAVE US ALONE plane @ simple sort of thing'. They soon stopped bothering us.

Maybe ring the number in the mail and clarify you've filled it out online.
 
We got something in the mail to go to a website and record census information.
Did that.
Got an identicle mailing a couple weeks later. o_O
 
I got one more mailing after submission of initial request online. None lately.

I filled out our census form online a few days before the April 1 deadline. Haven’t gotten any notices since then.

Same for me -- no further notices.
