I have had two floods in my house and I have lost the folder I used to keep my savings bonds in. It was probably destroyed. What should I do?

You can recover the lost bonds by filing a form with the Treasury. Click here for step-by-step information on what you need to do to recover lost Savings Bonds, including a link to the form.
FDIC Insured Certificates of Deposit can pay 1 or 2% more than savings bonds when held for a similar length of time. See top CD Rates Below:
