Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families has warned that this could lead to another undercount and loss of federal funding. The proposal also excludes Marshall Islanders, who are legally and permanently able to reside in the U.S. without a visa under a bilateral agreement. This could result in an estimated $5 billion in federal funds for Arkansas. Other proposed changes include a requirement that the address people are counted at must match their tax records. The census also helps local governments track and plan for population growth, and is used to identify where disparities in childhood well-being may need to be addressed. The deadline for public comment on the proposed changes has been extended to Nov 2.
