Scam or typical government incompetence?

Got an email today from nor-eply ([email protected]) Claimed to be my social security statement delivered electronically and had a button to push to view it. I never click links or buttons in emails, and just assumed a bad phishing scam...but then I did have to ask if maybe it's just a typical gov execution of a project, low bidder contract to send out e-statements, outsourced to some company in some 3rd world crap hole.
