Are Social Security Offices Closed Today? Memorial Day Hours

As a federal holiday, all government offices, including Social Security branches, will be closed on Memorial Day to honor the men and women who died while serving in the United States military. This means beneficiaries must wait until Tuesday to visit their local office or speak to an agent on the phone.

Why It Matters

Social Security offices observe 11 federal holidays each year, including Memorial Day, along with Thanksgiving, Christmas and Juneteenth.

During normal operations, Social Security offices remain open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time, with appointments necessary for most in-person services.

What To Know

Social Security offices will be closed on Memorial Day to honor those who died during their military service.

This year, the typical closure of Social Security offices may be more concerning as President Donald Trump‘s newly formed Department of Government Efficiency has led to the closure of multiple local Social Security offices.

Overall, DOGE instructed the General Services Administration (GSA) to terminate leases on approximately 7,500 federal offices, including many Social Security branches.

This includes:

  1. White Plains, New York
  2. Logan, West Virginia
  3. Carlsbad, California
  4. Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina
  5. Batesville, Arkansas
  6. Columbus, Ohio
  7. Okemos, Michigan
  8. Nacogdoches, Texas
  9. Green Bay, Wisconsin
  10. Las Vegas, Nevada

Some stores will also close in honor of Memorial Day, and all major banks will suspend services.

The United States Postal Service is also closed in observance of the holiday, so mail delivery services will be suspended until Tuesday.

FedEx and UPS likewise observe the holiday, which means modified or suspended services on Monday.

What People Are Saying

Drew Powers, the founder of Illinois-based Powers Financial Group, told Newsweek: “Social Security beneficiaries should prepare for the closure as there will be no in-person services at Social Security offices, no live phone assistance, and services and request processing will be delayed.

“The day after a holiday tends to be busier than usual due to the closure, so plan for extra time if you need to visit an office or call. The good news is this typically does not affect payments. If your benefit day falls Memorial Day Monday, payments should be deposited the Friday before.”

Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee, told Newsweek: “While Social Security offices will be closed on Memorial Day, seniors needing assistance during that time still have options. Social Security’s online portal and automated phone system remain active on holidays, even if live agents are out of their offices. Any more personalized service needed, though, will have to wait until offices reopen the following day.”

Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital and the host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek: “The impact on beneficiaries is typically minimal, as the system is designed to function around these planned closures.”

What Happens Next

While federal holidays like Memorial Day may cause slight delays in processing applications or paperwork, recipients typically can avoid any impact by contacting the agency for help before the holidays.

“To avoid any disruption, I would submit necessary documents well in advance of holiday periods and plan accordingly for any potential delays in service,” Thompson said.
