No — federal offices are closed on Presidents Day.
Presidents Day — officially Washington's Birthday on OPM's schedule, the third Monday in February — closes federal offices. Another fixed Monday, another three-day weekend, with no observance shift to track.
The whole federal counter network is off: Social Security, IRS assistance centers, passport agencies, VA regional offices, and federal courts. Regular hours resume Tuesday.
