Each year over 15,000 savings bonds and 25,000 payments return to the U.S. Department of the Treasury as undeliverable. Some $13 billion worth of savings bonds have stopped earning interest, but haven't been cashed.
Now Treasury Hunt from the Department of the Treasury helps you locate bonds that a deceased loved one may have had or bonds you may have that are no longer earning interest simply by entering a social security number.
To access the newly expanded database Go to the main US Treasury page or directly to the Treasury hunt page
