Memorandum 2018.15: Release of the 2020 Census Non-ID Processing Detailed Operational Plan (NID)
Memorandum 2018.15
This memorandum documents the release of the updated 2020 Census Detailed Operational Plan for the Non-ID Processing Operation (version 2.0). This document contains updates to the overall 2020 Non-ID process and specific details for the Non-ID operation reflecting changes in strategies that resulted from census planning, research, and testing activities.
The Non-ID Processing operation is focused on making it easy for people to respond anytime, anywhere to increase self-response rates. This is accomplished by providing response options that do not require a unique Census identification code.
