No payments going out for a single day as Americans will have limited access to their money

Millions of Americans are waiting for cash since government payments are not being sent out tomorrow.

This is due to the fact that Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, is a national holiday.

This indicates that all government offices that are not absolutely necessary are closed for the day.

The US Postal Service is one example of this.

On Thursday, mail will not be delivered.

People will not be able to receive their checks in the mail if they are waiting for assistance or other government payments.

Additionally, it is unlikely that anyone who has a pending direct deposit payment would see their money processed on Thursday.

NO THANKS

Payments are on hold while the government is mostly closed for the holiday.

There may be restricted access to funds for millions of people receiving social security, food stamps, unemployment insurance, and other welfare payments.

That can cause some anxiety on Black Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

For many years, the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping season has been the day following Thanksgiving.

Big discounts are offered by retailers to entice customers into their businesses.

The government closure is most likely to affect the Black Friday market, which is dominated by older and low-income consumers.

However, many banks might be operating as usual on Friday, and regular mail delivery will resume.

This is due to the fact that Black Friday is not a recognized government holiday.

On Christmas Day, December 25, the government is scheduled to close for non-essential activity.

HOLIDAY DISRUPTION

Holiday closures aren’t limited to the public sector.

On Thanksgiving, a lot of businesses close so that employees can spend time with their families.

On Thursday, at least some shoppers are probably going to remain home and avoid the stores in favor of carving the customary turkey.

One company that is closing its doors is Walmart.

Although it started a few years ago, there has been resistance to that development.

A few traditional mall merchants are also closing for the holiday.

For instance, Hollister will be shut down.

Costco is going to be closed on Thanksgiving.

Dinner essentials for the holiday are available on Amazon.
