Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. 01/11/2024 BAS ID: 25303100000, Jefferson County The U.S. Census Bureau is now conducting the Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). Your state, county, or county equivalent government collaborates with the Census Bureau to provide a BAS response on your government’s behalf. The Consolidated BAS (CBAS) representative reports all legal boundary, name, and status updates to the Census Bureau. Please work with your CBAS contact to ensure all boundary changes for your government are reported to BAS. Participants may also provide updates to census designated places. The Office of Financial Management (OFM) is your CBAS representative. Please work with OFM to ensure all boundary changes for your government are reported to BAS. BAS is a voluntary survey. We strongly encourage your participation in BAS for the following reasons: * The Census Bureau uses this boundary information for data collection, tabulation, and dissemination for the decennial census, American Community Survey (ACS), Population Estimates Program (PEP), and many other censuses and surveys. * The federal government allocates more than $2.8 trillion in federal funds annually for health, welfare, infrastructure, education, and other federal programs and services. Correct boundaries ensure governments receive funds appropriately and have the best data available for their decision-making processes. Action Step: * Review your government’s boundary and confirm or update your contact information using our interactive BAS Annual Response Form. The form includes all resources and instructions to review boundaries and provide contact updates to BAS.
