On Dec. 30, 2024, the President issued an Executive Order closing the federal government on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025, as a mark of respect for James Earl Carter, Jr., the thirty-ninth President of the United States. As such, our federal offices will be closed on Jan. 9, 2025, to observe the National Day of Mourning and some data processing will be impacted. See below for additional information.
