Is there mail today? Stock market closed for Carter’s funeral – NBC New York

President Joe Biden declared one National Day of Mourning in honor of the humanitarian leader on January 9, the day of Jimmy Carter’s funeral in Washington, DC

Although a National Day of Mourning is not recognized as an official federal holiday, meaning that many of the businesses typically affected by national observances will not be closed, some organizations are affected by the holiday.

Here’s what’s open and what’s closed on the National Day of Mourning.

Is there mail?

The post will not be delivered on Thursday. IN an executive order issued on December 30, Biden declared that all federal agencies would be closed on January 9 in honor of Carter’s funeral, including the United States Postal Service.

All federal employees should have days off except those most important to the country’s “national security, defense or other public needs,” according to the announcement.

The ruling also applies to all US courts, including the Supreme Court.

Are banks closed?

Most banks will remain open Thursday because it is not an official federal holiday.

Is the stock market open?

IN a statement released on December 30, New York Stock Exchange Group President Lynn Martin announced that all markets would be closed on January 9 out of respect for President Carter.

“Jimmy Carter, with humble roots as a farmer and family man, dedicated his life to public service and defending our freedom,” Martin wrote in the statement. “During his remarkable post-presidential life, President Carter left a lasting legacy of humanitarianism.”

Are schools open?

Like most banks around the country, most public schools will remain open Thursday because it is not an official federal holiday.

However, in accordance with National Day of Mourning protocol, all organizations affiliated with the US Department of Defense educational activity, including all military schools, will be closed.
