All<strong> SSA offices will be closed on January 20<\/strong>, 2025. However, there are <strong>2<\/strong> <strong>alternatives<\/strong> to sort things out on this date. Therefore, you will be able to carry out many tasks by simply using the <strong>online services<\/strong> or the <strong>automated<\/strong> <strong>phone number<\/strong> available 24\/7.<\/p>\n<p>If you are wondering why all the <strong>Social Security offices<\/strong> are closed on <strong>January 20<\/strong>, here is the reason. January 20 is a Federal Holiday and these special days offices are closed. Besides, the Agency never issues payments on<strong> Federal Holidays<\/strong>. Therefore, SSA needs to issue payments that fall on a holiday on the previous business day. However, no payments were due on Jan. 20.<\/p>\n<h2>Which Federal Holiday that affects Social Security offices is Jan. 20?<\/h2>\n<p>In case you do not know about the<strong> January 20 Federal Holiday<\/strong>, Americans celebrate the birthday of<strong> Martin Luther King<\/strong>, Jr. As a matter of fact, it is celebrated on the third Monday in January.<\/p>\n<p>What is more, it is also<strong> Inauguration Day<\/strong>. For your information, Inauguration Day takes place on January 20, every 4 years following a presidential election. Since there was an election in 2024, there will be an Inauguration day in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, this will be the last closing date in January 2025. If you need to sort out any issues you can use <strong>SSA&#8217;s online services<\/strong> like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get help and find answers<\/li>\n<li>create or make use of your my Social Security account<\/li>\n<li>apply for some benefits<\/li>\n<li>review your annual Statement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Social Security confirms other closing dates<\/h2>\n<p>Before 2025 comes to an end,\u00a0 there will be a total of<strong> 10 Federal Holidays.<\/strong> All of them will cause Social Security closures on those days. Hence, it is essential to plan in advance when you would like to visit your local Social Security office.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Monday, February 17: Washington\u2019s Birthday<\/li>\n<li>Monday, May 26: Memorial Day<\/li>\n<li>Thursday, June 19: Juneteenth National Independence Day<\/li>\n<li>Friday, July 04: Independence Day<\/li>\n<li>Monday, September: 01 Labor Day<\/li>\n<li>Monday, October 13: Columbus Day<\/li>\n<li>Tuesday, November 11: Veterans Day<\/li>\n<li>Thursday, November 27: Thanksgiving Day<\/li>\n<li>Thursday, December 25: Christmas Day<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Those who prefer it, can simply <strong>call Social Security at: 1-800-772-1213.<\/strong> If you are hard of hearing or deaf, call this phone number instead: TTY 1-800-325-0778.
