Independence Day is one of the most important days for all United States citizens. On this day we find ourselves with a very important holiday, and that is that we celebrate everything related to the Declaration of Independence. And in honor of in observance of that event, public services like Social Security are not operating as usual.
Services related to the Social Security Administration will see a slight change in organization. And that is the notice that the Administration has sent out so that all citizens can know about it. So if you were thinking of going to one of the local offices today, July 4th, you may need to know all the information before.
Even so, you should know that this day does not adversely affect most aspects related to the Social Security Administration. The day is a holiday, so the offices will be closed, but this does not mean that we will not be able to do our business.
We will not have any problems with most of the procedures, if we know the alternative ways to solve this kind of problems.
How does Independence Day affects Social Security retirees?
The only thing that will not be 100% operational during Independence Day is the Social Security offices. Public buildings will be closed on this day. Therefore, any kind of business we want to do inside them will be impossible until the following day.
Tomorrow, our offices are closed in observance of Independence Day. You can still use our automated telephone or online services to conduct your business. Visit https://t.co/VwDxcARyUl to learn more about our services. #onlineservices

But this does not mean that we will not be able to do our business, of course. Even if the offices remain closed, the Administration offers everyone the ways to manage everything you need.
Online
Since Independence Day means that the offices are closed, the best way to do this type of business is online. By using the Social Security My Account we can check all kinds of data and personal information.
It is generally the most efficient way to carry out all kinds of processes related to our pensioner. But on holidays, such as Independence Day, the use of My Account is even more important.
Via Automated Telephone
But it is not only online that we will be able to solve our problems. Some of them will also see a solution via Automated Telephone. However, remember that not all procedures can be handled in this way.
In case you do not find a solution to your bureaucratic problems, do not worry. You can always go to the Social Security office the next day. On the 5th of July, the doors of the offices will be open as usual.
Still, remember that in most places Independence Day affects schedules. So before you do anything today, check to see if they are open or closed, as is the case with the Social Security Administration.
