All Social Security Administration offices will remain closed on September 2. Therefore, if you are planning to visit your local office on that day, you will not be able to do it because they will not be open.
For your information, Social Security offices close on Federal holidays. It was on July 4, Independence Day when all offices were last closed. Hence, those who plan to file for retirement, SSDI, or SSI should do it online on September 2.
Which day is September 2 and why are Social Security offices closed?
According to the official website of the United States Government, September 2, which will be the first Monday in September, will be Labor Day. Do not worry because there are plenty of services you can need online on Social Security’s website.
For example, through my Social Security account, you can find a great deal of documents and you can also apply online for benefits or download a Statement. What is more, you can apply for Medicare or even check the status of your appeal or application.
Requesting a replacement for your SSA card is possible online too. Some Americans may also need to get a benefit verification letter, so it is also available at: https://www.ssa.gov/onlineservices/
