"Thursday is a full federal holiday, which means most government offices are closed - from Social Security offices to local administrative buildings. If you were planning to visit a DMV or city hall, make sure to reschedule. The U.S. Postal Service will be closed, and no regular mail delivery will happen on New Year's Day. Retail post office services are also shut for the holiday."
"Major bank branches, including Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, will not open their doors on Jan. 1. If you need cash, ATMs and mobile apps are your go-to since they'll still work even though physical branches are dark. Is the grocery store open on New Year's day? When it comes to stores, the picture is decidedly mixed. Costco plans to be closed all day."
