The Social Security Administration has announced that all offices will be closed on Washington’s Birthday. That means all SSA offices will not be open on February 19, Presidents’ Day.
Although most people refer to this Federal holiday as President’s Day, it is by law Washington’s Birthday. Therefore, it is not possible to visit an office on February 19.
However, there are many things that you can sort out online. For example, if you would like to apply for Social Security, you can apply online. Check service hours for my SSA account.
MY SOCIAL SECURITY IS AVAILABLE ONLINE:
Bear in mind that the following service hours are Eastern Time. Even if Presidents’ Day is a Federal holiday, Social Security will have the same hours as the day the holiday takes place.
If you would like to use My Social Security online, it is available Monday – Friday 5:00 a.m. – 1:00 a.m. Some people may prefer to make use of it on Saturday and the service hours are 5:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.
Service hours for My Social Security are 8:00 a.m. – 11:30 p.m. on Sunday. But let’s have a look at the remaining Federal holidays in 2024, since there are many left and affect opening hours.
