In cases where the SSA rules say beneficiaries can't have any assets, the SSA does a check of the beneficiary's SSN in the Savings Bond data base. Unless they look under your grandmother's SSN, however, these won't turn up in a search like that. Tom Adams L - Yes, the bonds are now yours.

I'm the "or" person. Since it's her SSN, the IRS can't trace them back to me, right? I've come into a problem with my SSI where I have all these bonds actually in my name and SSN that I guess I need to cash prematurely. The IRS sent a memo thing to the SSA about those ones. So can they do that for the ones in my Grandmothers SSN too? I don't want to have to cash all these in early. :( This whole situation is a pretty big mess that I'm sure could have been avoided if my parents didn't keep the bonds away from me.

But for the ones with only your name and SSN, see <a href="http://www.savings-bond-advisor.com/list-of-us-savings-bonds-by-ssn/" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">this post</a> for how to get a list of them.

But since you have the serial numbers of the bonds, and since the bonds legally belong to you, you can find out what actually happened - rather than relying on what might have happened - by following the process at the top of the page.

If he took them out and said they were for me but didn't use them for me at all, that could be entirely possible couldn't it? Thank you, Sandy What constitutes as "for me"?
