When the inflation rate is negative, the two can add up to zero or less, though the composite rate can't go below zero. For the record, the inflation rate for the period you're asking about is -5.56% Tom Adams Thomas - I bonds earn a composite rate of the fixed rate and the inflation rate.

It is my understanding that a fixed % rate is included in I bonds and is set at the time of purchase and continues thru the life of the bond. My total dollar # has not changed.

If this is the case, you have to notify your employer's payroll office to change the address to which the bonds are being sent. Contacting the Treasury won't help you.

It doesn't mean they found your bonds, but that the bonds had been redeemed. The difference is subtle, but the key point is they didn't find any record of your bonds. It's just as likely that the bonds are still there, unfound, as it is that your father cashed them. Without the serial numbers, there's no way to find out if the bonds have been cashed or not.

My parents divorced. I do not know the serial number or denominations they all varied. I filled out a lost bond form sent it in got a response stating that there is not any unredeemed bonds. I did not cash them. I am sure my biological father did where do I go from here. Am I really out of luck. Thank you look forward to hearing from you Hello I recently mailed out a request for lost bonds that were purchased, from birth to the age 25 my grandparents would purchase bonds for me instead of a material gift.
