E-mail from TreasuryDirect

What:

The U.S. Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service is sending e-mails to TreasuryDirect customers encouraging those with undelivered gift bonds to deliver them to the intended recipients.

How you can help:

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

  • The U.S. Treasury is asking customers with undelivered bonds to deliver them to their recipient.
  • 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,

It’s time for some spring cleaning! That includes clearing out your TreasuryDirect gift box by delivering purchased gift bond(s) to your intended recipient. We encourage any TreasuryDirect customers with undelivered gift bonds to deliver them promptly after purchasing so your recipient can access and manage their gift now.

How Do I Deliver a 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 an account, they will need to create one before you can deliver the bond. Additional savings guidance on delivering gift bonds is available in this video and on the “Giving savings bonds as gifts” page.

For recipients under age 18, a parent or legal guardian must set up a minor linked account in 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?”

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.

Need Help?

If you have additional questions not covered in this e-mail, 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.
