The start of the 2020 census is just a month away for most U.S. residents.
With that deadline looming, Census Bureau director Steven Dillingham is going to Capitol Hill to update lawmakers about the agency's readiness.
The Census is the largest peacetime operation the federal government undertakes.
Lawmakers planned to question Dillingham on Wednesday about whether the bureau is finding enough workers to hire.
They also plan to ask about the bureau's outreach efforts to encourage every person to participate.
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform is holding the hearing.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Caroline Maloney is the committee's chairwoman.
She says she has concerns about the bureau's readiness.
