President Joe Biden has declared Jan. 9 a National Day of Mourning for the late President Jimmy Carter, which means closures for some financial institutions and government offices. Carter, the 39th president, died Dec. 29 at age 100.
Federal offices and agencies will be closed, though employees deemed " essential " will remain on the job.
U.S. Postal Service will be closed, meaning no mail will be delivered that day.
An official state funeral for Carter will be held on Thursday.
USA Today says the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will close that day. Bond markets will be open but will close early at 2 p.m. Most banks will remain open.
The last National Day of Mourning was observed in December 2018 to honor the late President George H.W. Bush.
