US Savings Bonds

Question: Are you picky about the questions you answer or will you answer any question on Yahoo answers?

I enjoy this website quite a bit. But I am picky about the questions I answer and find it quite annoying when I see questions that are just asked by those that apparantly have free access to a computer from their padded cell in the mental institution. I’ve seen questions such as a person wanting to know if it was normal to enjoy picking up ones own excrement and play with it, or if it was normal that they enjoy touching their own father inappropriately when the family has company. And still more from the same person, they wanted to celebrate the birthday of a dog that is not their own by purchasing a US Savings Bond for it. Sure the questions are somewhat entetaining but they lose all humor after awhile and just become repetative and moronic.

Answer: i’m pretty picky lol

Question: How do you find/claim a savings bond if you have no ‘proof’ & don’t want to pay someone else to find it- yet?

I know they existed… Grandma can’t remember the banks but we know what state… neither of us accurate on the dates; maybe close on the year… found a couple ’search’ sites, but they want $$… I don’t have that otherwise I probably wouldn’t be worried about an old savings bond or two!! Just curious!

Answer: Hi MeMyself&I, I’m the Savings Bond Guru from SavingsBonds.com – I hope I can help you with your question.

I’ll bet one of the web sites you went to was ours, and its ok if you don’t want to pay for our Lost Bond Recovery Service.

Here’s what you can do to get your Savings Bonds replaced. Go to the Government’s Savings bond site, in the forms pages, and find PDF 1048 “Request to Reissue Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Savings Bonds“. (I’ve included a link to the Gov’s website below).

It wasn’t very clear if you’re trying to find the bonds for your grandmother or for yourself, but here’s some tips on the information you’ll need for the forms:

- Social Security Number of the person you’re searching for
- Only one person can be searched on per form
- When it asks for Dates, simply provide a Range of Years you think they were issued
- In the details/info for the bonds, include the SSN as well as your Address at the time the bonds were issued

I hope this has been helpful! Good Luck!

Question: what happens when you buy a US savings bond?

Answer: When you a buy a savings bond, you are loaning your money to the government so they can finance projects and pay for expenses.

You can either purchase one from your local bank or treasury direct. Most bonds pay interest semi-annually to the bondholder.
