My dad bought a lot of savings bonds for my kids, mostly $100 so a lot of bonds, not a lot of money.
I read that the person that buys them pays (he has been gone 10+ years) and another site says it is the recipient. But on some of the bonds it has my kids' names but my SSN. Some were bought before the kids even had a SSN.
One matures this year so that got me wondering-plus the resurrection of the I-bonds thread. BTW-tonight I input the serial numbers/issue date of about 100+ bonds and the current interest rate ranged from .77% (most of them-EE bonds) to 8.57% on a few Series I bonds that were bought around 2006.
