Are federal offices open on Labor Day?

Closed
No — federal offices are closed on Labor Day.
Labor Day — the first Monday in September — is on OPM's federal holiday schedule, so federal offices close. A fixed Monday again, so nothing shifts.
Every federal counter is shut for the long weekend: Social Security, IRS assistance centers, passport agencies, VA regional offices, federal courts. Tuesday is a regular business day.
