2001 I-Bonds — delay in conversion to TreasuryDirect

By Terry Savage on May 14, 2026 | Chicken Money

Has it always taken 9 months to convert paper I-bonds to a treasury direct account?
Or is this a “new” feature?
Thank you in advance.

Yes, they are woefully behind. If you do not see them in your account in another 60 days, please save the email you receive saying your question has been answered. Write back to me with your name, address, daytime phone number — and any info on the amount of the bonds you turned in to go into your account. I hope you sent them registered mail!

At that point I will forward the info to my contact at Treasury who is always very helpful in these situations.
