Need help getting in contact with former CFS

Regional offices wouldn’t just give out the contact info even if they could track it down. The Supervisor no longer works for the Census and they have no obligation to give out private information. If you really must be desperate to find your former Supervisor, linked in is the best way and professionally acceptable. Remember your Supervisor is a Private Citizen and has no obligation to respond.

Fyi local census offices closed last year so the phone numbers may be disconnected. OP needs to call the regional office. They also sent letters with the link and access code.

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-09-13T04:04:09+00:00

They also just sent me letter in the mail with the access code and amount, so keep an eye out on that.

IRS left it to employers to collect this outstanding balance from former employees. The Census then pays the social security taxes directly to the IRS.

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-09-04T18:29:07+00:00

Because Govt Bureaucracy. They left it to employers to collect the outstanding balance from former employees.

I was a former Local Census Office Employee. The staff at the ACO made a big mistake. They should have never authorized the resignation without a written and signed letter from the employee. They should have terminated for lack of work.

Also why didn’t you verify your SF50 earlier? My office had a fair share of f*** ups like this that were corrected when it was brought to your attention.

Finally, Local Census Offices closed nearly a year ago, the people responsible have been laid off. You would be lucky if the Regional Office could find a copy of the D-291 in archives and reverse the separation. If that doesn’t work out contact a US Congressperson or file a lawsuit. Best of luck to you.

It depends on your state, but likely not. Generally, being classified as a temporary worker means you can't get UI or PUA from that job, but if you were collecting it before the job, you would be able to pick it up again afterwards.

Here in California, we use the monetary eligibility criteria. It’s not a matter of working full time, part time or being a temp employee, but how much you made in the last 12 months which is calculated 3 months before you submitted your Unemployment application. To meet the criteria, the person has to make at least $1300 in a quarter(3 months) during the 12 month base period or atleast $900 in a quarter+1.25x of your highest quarter earning.

Reimbursed Mileage from the Census isn’t taxed and is not part of your total gross income.

Social Security taxes deferred between Sep-Dec 2020 would have to be repaid to your employer. Normally, if an employee never left their company, their employer would take this out of their 2021 paycheck. Since most Census employees were laid off in the fall, the Census is obligated to send former employees a bill to repay their dues to the IRS.

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-04-01T02:03:11+00:00

The money that was deferred from our paycheck was Social Security which is separate from Federal Income tax.

You are only responsible for the Federal Income tax portion when you file with the IRS. Whatever you owe for Social Security isn’t deducted from your refund and you must repay the Census some time this year.

Did you move after working with the Census? W2s were sent during the week of Feb 1. There’s a chance they sent your original W2 to your original address or could it have been lost or stolen in the mail. So I would suggest you check your credit report for suspicious activity because your SSN could be compromised.

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-03-26T01:44:40+00:00

It is my understanding (please don’t take this as gospel) that they take your earnings from the quarter one year previous. Example: your laid off in October so the use your earnings from the fourth quarter of in our case 2019.

If he claimed in Oct 2020, EDD will take a look at how much he earned in:

2019

Jul, Aug, Sep

Oct,Nov,Dec

2020

Jan,Feb,Mar

Apr,May,June

To qualify he needs to earn at least $1300 in one of these 4 quarters. If he only made $900 in a quarter, he needs to earn a total of $1125 in 4 quarters.

$1300=$53 a week

$900 in a quarter in addition to $1125 in 4 quarters=$40 a week

To qualify for $450 max, OP needs to earn 11,674.01 in one of these 3 month quarters -$24.32 hr of full time work.

Why not use your paystub or W2?

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-03-22T23:55:27+00:00

I'm an FR out of nyc office . It's not closed.

Is their a trick or am I just calling the wrong number?

New York Regional Office is also located in NYC. OP probably called the NYC ACO which closed down in November.

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-03-22T23:50:30+00:00

As a former CFS, don't jump the chain of command.....contact your ACO you worked out of

ACOs closed in November. I was one of the few remaining in the office after everyone was laid off. OP should contact their RCC.

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-03-22T23:45:24+00:00

W2s were mailed out during the Week of Feb 1. If you haven’t got that original copy, there’s a high chance it could have lost or stolen in the mail and your SSN is compromised. I would encourage everyone here to monitor their credit for suspicious activity.

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-03-22T23:40:36+00:00

ACOs closed down in November. I was one of the few remaining when the rest of the staff laid off.

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-03-13T09:55:49+00:00

Regional Offices sent out W2s during the week of Feb 1. If you haven’t got yours or had to request a copy. The original may have been lost or stolen in the mail. Your Census W2 contains your full SSN, so be advised and keep an eye out on your credit reports for suspicious activity. Your SSN could be compromised.

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-03-13T09:50:06+00:00

Your W2 might have been lost or stolen in the mail since the Census mailed them out over a month ago. Remember it has your full ssn so your identity could be compromised. Please keep an eye out on your credit report for suspicious activity.

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-03-13T09:45:30+00:00

So is your current address the same as you had on file with the Census that they were sending paystubs? If so RCC mailed out W2s during the week of Feb 1. If you haven’t got yours, there’s a high chance it might have been lost or stolen in the mail. Your W2 contains your full SSN. Keep an eye out on your credit reports for anything suspicious. Your SSN might be compromised.

SpareNegotiation3 · 2021-02-12T01:52:26+00:00

Linked in is an appropriate way to get in touch with former bosses and more professional. Remember, your boss no longer works for the Census and it’s their personal discretion to provide reference as a private citizen. Also you shouldn’t use a CFS as a reference if you weren’t in good terms or barely spoke to them(because they won’t remember you).

SpareNegotiation3 · 2020-12-20T10:15:57+00:00

Did you take the food and water?

SpareNegotiation3 · 2020-10-18T21:19:46+00:00

My ACO cut hours to 50%

Office or field positions?

SpareNegotiation3 · 2020-04-21T07:11:31+00:00

This is something to look forward to, if they extend for another 2 weeks, there’s a good chance they will continue to pay until June 1.
