E-mail from TreasuryDirect

What:

The US Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service is sending emails to TreasuryDirect customers encouraging those with undelivered gift bonds to deliver them to the intended recipients since they are the sole legal owners of gift bonds registered in their name.

How you can help:

If you are wondering why you were contacted or if the e-mail is legitimate, here is more information:

  • The US Treasury is asking customers with undelivered bonds to deliver them to their recipient, who have ownership of the bond(s).
  • If the recipient of your gift bond does not have a TreasuryDirect account, they need to create an account in order to receive the gift.
  • If the recipient is a minor, a parent or legal guardian must set up a minor linked account within their own TreasuryDirect account. You can find guidance on how to do so on this “How do I…?” page, (under “How do I open an account for a minor?”)
  • If you received an e-mail from subscriptions@subscriptions.treas.gov about delivering gift bonds, it is a valid e-mail (see email below).

Dear TreasuryDirect Customer,

The season of giving is upon us, so why not use this time to deliver your already purchased and undelivered gift bond(s)? Give your recipient the gift of investment growth and financial savviness!

How to Deliver Your Gift Bond

To deliver your gift bond, log in to TreasuryDirect, go to the Gift Box tab, select the bond you want to deliver, then click the Deliver button on the Detail page. Please note that you will need your recipient’s TreasuryDirect account number to complete delivery. If your recipient does not yet have a TreasuryDirect account, they will need to set one up. Our video walks you through the process of delivering a gift bond.

With your recipient potentially in town for the holidays, it could be a great opportunity to work with them to set up a new account, or a minor linked account if needed. For recipients under age 18, a parent or legal guardian must set up a minor linked account within their own TreasuryDirect account. Instructions on how to do so are available on the “How do I…?” page, under “How do I open an account for a minor?”

While you can only deliver one gift bond at a time, there is no limit to the total amount a recipient can receive. However, once they have received $10,000, they should not purchase additional savings bonds that year because gift amounts are applied towards the purchase limit.

Visit the “Giving savings bonds as gifts” page on TreasuryDirect.gov for more information or to get gift tags you can use to make the delivery festive!

Need Help?

If you have more questions, you can visit our FAQ page. If you encounter any issues while delivering your gift bonds, you can reach us Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, at 844-284-2676 (toll-free).

We appreciate you trusting the U.S. Treasury with your investments. Have a happy and safe holiday season!
