Dear [FNAME],

Recently, you received a letter asking you to participate in a survey for the Ask U.S. Panel pilot, a national survey pilot panel led by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Defense. Surveys will focus on topics that affect active-duty military members and their families, such as food and nutrition, housing, employment, and education.

However, we have not received your response. Your participation is vital, and because our sample is randomly selected, no other active-duty service member or spouse can take your place. Your views and experiences represent thousands of other active-duty service members and their families and are important for the U.S. Department of Defense when making policies that may impact your military life.

As a token of our appreciation for completing the survey, you will receive $20.

Persons who join the pilot panel may also receive an additional incentive payment for participating in an upcoming Ask U.S. Panel pilot survey.

Please complete the 20-minute enrollment survey as soon as possible. You can access the survey by visiting the link and entering the pin provided below.

Alternatively, you may complete the survey over the phone by calling 1-866-558-0774.

Your name and any other identifying information will never be associated with the answers you provide on surveys and results will be reported in the aggregate only. RTI International, a not-for-profit research organization, is working with the U.S. Census, in partnership with other federal agencies including the Department of Defense, to create the Ask U.S. Panel pilot. If you have any questions about the panel, you can reach the Ask U.S. Panel pilot team directly at 1-866-558-0774 from 9:00 am-12:00 am Monday through Thursday, 9:00 am-11:00 pm on Fridays, 10:00 am-9:00 pm on Saturdays, and 1:30 pm-11:00 pm on Sundays (EST) or via email at [email protected].

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
