Leave it to the US Government to make a Social Security web site that only works during certain hours. As if the computers really need to go home and get some sleep every day. I mean, we aren't talking about some infrequent unavailability for some tweaks or upgrades or whatever, we're talking about a regularly recurring day in day out thing where the web site basically puts up a CLOSED sign. Of course the kicker is that the front page doesn't tell you anything about it, you have to click to log in and only then does it tell you:

This service is shutting down for maintenance now. View our service hours.
