Closed

No — federal offices are closed on Juneteenth.

Juneteenth National Independence Day became a federal holiday in 2021 and sits on OPM's schedule with the other ten, so federal offices close on June 19. Social Security, the IRS, passport agencies, and federal courts are all off.

It's a fixed date rather than a fixed Monday, so it walks through the week. A Saturday Juneteenth gives federal employees the Friday before; a Sunday one closes offices the following Monday.

Do state offices close on Juneteenth too?

That varies by state. Juneteenth is a federal holiday everywhere, but states keep their own lists and not all of them have added it. The federal side closes either way.
