The city spent nearly $9 million to produce and send out a survey with $5-bill incentives — which critics say most likely wound up in New Yorkers’ trash.

$8.8 million in taxpayer money to produce and send out mental-health questionnaires that contained $5 bills as an incentive for filling out the forms — but many likely wound up in the trash because the envelopes looked like junk mail, galled critics told The Post.

“They’re taking a gamble that [even] 10% of people will open it. That’s bananas!” Jennifer Crocker, 37, who happened to open her mailer, told The Post.Since May 11, plain white envelopes bearing only the Health Department’s logo — and a note on the outside that people can earn $20 — have been mailed out. Inside is the cash, the roughly 60-question survey, and a letter from Health Commissioner Dr.

“We have attached $5 to this letter as our way of thanking you” in advance for participating in the survey, it adds, promising an additional $20 reward to each household that completes the questionnaire.
