Traditionally, federal employees get only one day off for Christmas. However, President Bush has ordered federal offices closed on Christmas eve this year. Agency heads may still order federal offices to stay open "for reasons of national security or defense or other public need." It seems unlikely that the Commissioner of Social Security would try to keep Social Security offices open on December 24.
Now if he would only sign the budget for our pay increase it will truely be a Merry Christmas.
