Pretty difficult. People don't want to update, don't have access to computers, some are here living and working and aren't citizens or are undocumented, some people don't trust the government or don't want the government tracking them anymore than they already do. You name it.
Even if you didn't have these systematic issues, it's a political football. Can't ask the wrong questions on the census b/c politics, for example. How would you even know that every American eligible got a check if you can't even get a count of every American?
