On Monday, October 12th, all Social Security offices will be closed in observance of Indigenous Peoples'/Columbus Day. At this time, online and automated phone services will still be available for use. Tracy Law Firm will retain normal business hours on this date.
Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Columbus Day both fall on the second Monday in October. Columbus Day was established to mark when Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas on October 12th, 1492. The day became an official holiday in 1937 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt made it a national holiday. Indigenous Peoples’ day became officially recognized in 2021 when President Joe Biden issued the first presidential proclamation. This holiday has roots dating back to the 1990’s when South Dakota became the first state to celebrate Native Americans’ Day rather than Columbus Day.
