Part-time applicants will be able to maintain SNAP while working for the Census in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — On January 1, the U.S. Census Bureau will begin the selection process for various census positions in preparation for the 2020 Census. In December, pay rates increased, and all part-time applicants will be able to maintain their federal benefits and assistance of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) while working for the census in Utah. Positions offer competitive pay, flexible hours, paid training, and weekly paychecks.

After the selection process occurs in January, paid training will occur in March and April. Actual enumeration of non-responding households throughout the nation begins in May through early July. Please visit www.2020census.gov/jobs to apply for available Census jobs. Pay rates vary depending on where the job is located, with rates ranging in Utah from $16 to $20 per hour. To determine the estimated pay rate in an area, visit www.2020census.gov/en/jobs/pay-and-locations/national-map.html.
The census is the largest peacetime deployment of civil servants across the country. The census officially begins on April 1, 2020, and for the first time ever, it will have an online option, as well as a phone option, which will make filling out the form easy, safe and secure.
