Might just be an additional identity check, since you would have had to enter her account number when you bought the gift.
Not true, I bought some for my daughter with her name and SSN. I'm not even sure she had an account set up at that time.

What you need to know about the recipient
To give an electronic savings bond to someone else, you must know that person's
- Full name
- Social Security Number (or Taxpayer Identification Number)
- TreasuryDirect account number
Sure about that?
From the TD website:
Completely sure. I will need it to give it to her.
+1. I was surprised too.I just transferred a gift bond I had purchased to my wife. I was surprised the system required me to enter her Treasury Account number. The system already knew her name and SS# from when I purchased the gift, I would have thought that would have uniquely identified her.
IDK if this has been asked but I haven’t seen it. Sorry if I missed it.
Is it OK to let the gift set in my account for an extended amount of time?
I’m thinking about gifting them to my young nieces & nephews. I’m not sure I will do this but I was concerned as to whether there is any downside to leaving the money sit in my gift box.
I’m not planning on buying anymore I bonds at this time.
Thanks
