Hi Gloria - The Treasury says it will not reimburse you, however, among online financial institutions TreasuryDirect is one of the best in terms of security.

Assume a hacker steals your secret electronic data and numbers and all your money? Will the Treasury reimburse you?

Felix - when this kind of thing happens, use the Contact Us link inside TreasuryDirect (it's at the upper right) to report the problem directly to the TreasuryDirect customer support team. They'll help you out.

Am having difficult time trying to delete online purchases of I Bonds scheduled throughout the year. I keep getting "Error In Processing Your Request" numerous times as if Treasury Direct doesn't want me to delete it. I'm getting the same message when I try to edit or delete my bank account. Any advice?

Charles - TreasuryDirect registrations have to be in the name of a natural person with a Social Security Number, so you can't combine TreasuryDirect and a Living Trust.

You can, however, change the registration on the paper bonds to put them in your Living Trust. It's a bit like wearing a belt and suspenders, as Savings Bonds already provide a Living Trust-like feature with the beneficiary designation, but it can be done. Details about the form you need to do this type of registration change are in my book.

I had E and EE Bonds that were left to me after my Aunt's death. The Bonds were in her name as well as mine.

Can these Bonds be put in This Treasury Direct account and be put in the name of my Revocable Living Trust of 3/6/2003
