In this case it is a good idea to have your US savings bonds reissued.

 

---

Series E US savings bonds and Series EE US Savings Bonds don't need to be re-issued if the address on them are incorrect. The address has no effect on ownership or the ability of an entitled person to cash the US savings bonds.

 

---

Series E US savings bonds and Series EE US Savings Bonds with incorrect social security number do not need to be reissured. The Social Security Number on US savings bonds is used only for recordkeeping purposes and has no effect on the ownership or tax liability of the US savings bonds.

However, for record keeping, the Bureau of the Public Debt would like you to send in a letter including

1. the serial numbers, issue dates, denominations, and registration of the bonds, and
2. the incorrect and correct Social Security Numbers so we can update our records.
