The 2020 Census will determine how the federal government distributes almost $900 billion to dozens of programs in the next decade. Any flaws in the count, or a lack of participation by the public, could lead to cash shortfalls for social programs that are funded based on population, including Medicaid, Section 8 housing vouchers, TANF, food stamps and Title I education grants.
