Are government offices

To do things like recertifications closed? I just got a letter that I need to meet a case worker face to face to renew my benifiets. I dunno
What to do. Got the letter two days ago and the appointment is the 23rd. That is unreasonably fast for me to prepare so I am not prepared to go there yet. Seems since everything is closed would they be closed too? I live in Maryland.

...until this pandemic is under control. Tell them you are happy to send any paperwork they would like.
I would also offer to Skype with them, even if I don't use Skype. Chances are they don't use it either.
