Changing the SSN for HH bond interest

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2004
Categorized as: Series HH or H US Savings Bonds

I'm working with a client whose husband has died. They were co-owners of a number of HH bonds. She isn't ready to update the registrations on the bonds yet, but needs to change the Social Security Number that the interest is reported under from his number to hers. What form do we use for this?

Tom's response

If all you want to do is change the SSN that the HH bond interest payments are reported under, use a W-9. Complete and sign the form and send it with a letter describing the bonds and giving the old SSN to:

HH/H Assistance Branch
Bureau of the Public Debt
PO Box 2186
Parkersburg WV 26106-2186
