Treasury to Share Bond Owner Data
Starting June 10, 2026, the Treasury will share certain savings bond owner information with states so states can help locate bond owners and facilitate payment of 'applicable savings bonds.'
Only Older, Unredeemed Bonds Shared
The information sharing applies to 'applicable savings bonds' defined in statute as savings bonds that are more than three years past their final maturity date, in paper or electronic form, and have not been redeemed.
Privacy, Fraud Safeguards Required
The Treasury is authorized to issue regulations or guidance to protect the privacy of savings bond owners, prevent fraud, and ensure states use the provided information solely to locate bond owners.
