Survey verification by pin for digital payment

The NYC Mayor's office announced while back of parent survey and digital payment after completing. Now scammers are taking advantage of the survey by sending out unwanted text to locals in NYC. The Mayor's office says only those who received a post card in their mail can access it with a verification code.

This program was announced last month to allow feedback from families on the new child care starting this fall with 2,000 free paid by taxpayers for 2-K seats and more than 1,000 for 3-K seats. The survey will play a central role in gathering input from families and incorporating it into program design.

The survey opens March 31 in English and Spanish and will remain open through ​April 13​. A summary of results will be released ​later this year​. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and covers topics including current child care arrangements, parental leave preferences and preferred types and hours of care.

Households that receive a postcard ​can visit nycparents.norc.org and enter their PIN to access the survey ​and receive a digital payment for completing it. ​​Other families can visit ​nyc.gov/parentsurvey​ for a chance to participate. All other links are scams and avoid at all costs which may collect your personal info from your phone.
