Georgetown CCF Submits Comments on Census Residence Criteria Rules
The Georgetown University Center for Children and Families (CCF) submitted comments to the U.S. Census Bureau on its proposed residence criteria and proposed regulations for demographic questions on the decennial census. The comments address how the Census Bureau defines and counts population residency, an issue CCF has historically tied to accurate population counts used in federal funding formulas, including Medicaid. No further detail on the specific recommendations or positions taken in the comments was provided in the source material.
Why it mattersAccurate census counts underpin federal funding formulas, including Medicaid matching rates, so advocacy on residence criteria can shape future state allocations.
