INSTRUCTIONS
USE OF FORM – Use this form to request transactions involving United States Savings Bonds or United States Savings Notes owned by
a mentally incapacitated person for whose estate no legal guardian or similar representative has been or is to be appointed or is
otherwise qualified, for the following purposes:


To apply for payment, if the total value of all of the owner's bonds and notes does not exceed $20,000 and the proceeds will be
used for the benefit and support of the incapacitated person. The redemption value of the bonds and notes will be determined
as of the date the request is received by the Bureau of the Public Debt.



To apply for reinvestment of matured Series E bonds.



To apply for payment of interest due on any Series H or Series HH bond registered in the incapacitated person’s name.



To apply for substitute bonds on behalf of an incapacitated owner on account of the loss, theft, or destruction of the originals.



To apply for authority to receive confidential information to which the incapacitated person is entitled.

WHO MAY APPLY – Any relative who is actually supporting or otherwise looking after the affairs of the incapacitated person may apply
or, if none, anyone who is a proper person to represent the incapacitated person's interests may apply.
COMPLETION OF FORM – Answer all questions and furnish all information called for. If you need more space for any item, use a plain
sheet of paper and attach it to the form. Complete and attach any additional form necessary for the requested transaction.
ITEM 1. Furnish all information requested pertaining to yourself and the incapacitated person.
ITEM 2. List by issue date and number those savings bonds and savings notes to which the application relates. Furnish information on
a separate sheet as to any other savings bonds or savings notes owned by the incapacitated person.
ITEM 3. Mark the appropriate box(es) to indicate the nature of your request.
A. PAYMENT - Mark this box to request payment of the incapacitated person's bonds and notes. The redemption value of
all savings bonds plus the redemption value of all savings notes owned at the time of this application can't exceed
$20,000. If the total redemption value exceeds $20,000, this form must not be used to request payment; instead, a legal
representative must be appointed for the incapacitated person by the court having jurisdiction. If the bonds or notes to be
redeemed have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, a PD F 1048 must also be completed and submitted.
B. REINVESTMENT - Mark this box for reinvestment of matured Series E bonds for Series EE bonds. In applying for a
reinvestment authorized by the governing regulations, the new bonds must be registered in the name of the incapacitated
person followed by words showing voluntary guardianship, for example, "123-45-6789 John Jones under voluntary
guardianship." A living coowner or beneficiary named on the bonds surrendered in the reinvestment transaction must be
designated on the new bonds unless that person is a competent adult and he or she furnishes a certified statement
consenting to the omission of his or her name. The rules and regulations in Department Circular, Public Debt Series No.
1-80, and on the applicable form, PD F 5263 (order it), must be followed. If the bonds to be reinvested have been lost,
stolen, or destroyed, a PD F 1048 must also be completed and submitted.
C. PAYMENT OF INTEREST - Mark this box for payment of interest on Series H or Series HH bonds now owned by the
incapacitated person. You must agree that the interest now due or payable will be used for the benefit and support of the
incapacitated person. You must also agree to notify Public Debt promptly if there is a change in the status of the
incapacitated person. Interest on Series H or Series HH bonds must be paid by direct deposit to the owner's account at a
financial institution. You must complete a direct deposit form, PD F 5396 or SF 1199A, and submit it with this application.
Forms SF 1199A are available at financial institutions in the United States. The financial institution designated to receive
the payment can assist in the completion of the direct deposit form.
D. MISSING BONDS - Mark this box If you wish to obtain substitutes for bonds which have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.
As voluntary guardian, you must also complete a PD F 1048 and submit it with this application. If any other person is
named on the bonds, he or she must join in signing the PD F 1048.
E. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION - Mark this box If you wish to obtain information on savings bonds or savings notes on
which the incapacitated person is named owner or coowner, or to which he or she has become entitled.
ITEM 4.

A. CONTRIBUTION – Show whether or not you are contributing to the incapacitated person's support. If other persons are
also contributing to the incapacitated person's care and support, their consents must be secured if payment is being
requested under Item 3A on page 1. Consent must be given in Item 5.
B. PROOF OF INCOMPETENCY - If a court has declared the bond or note owner legally incompetent to manage his or her
affairs, you must furnish a copy of the court order, certified under seal of the court. If no such determination has been
made, a statement must be furnished from the incapacitated person's attending physician, on the physician's professional
stationery, describing briefly the bond or note owner's condition and indicating whether or not he or she is mentally
competent to engage in business transactions. If the incapacitated person is a patient in a public institution, this
statement may be made by the chief medical officer on the institution's official stationery.
C. CONSENT OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES - If the incapacitated person is a patient in a hospital or other institution operated
by a federal, state, or other governmental authority, and a charge is or may be made for the care given, the governmental
agency must furnish a statement on official stationery by an authorized official having the duty to fix or collect such
charge, consenting to the action requested. Such consent is required only if payment is requested under Item 3A on
page 1.

D. INCOMPETENT’S OTHER HOLDINGS - If the incapacitated person owns United States Savings Bonds or United States
Savings Notes other than those listed in Item 2 on this application, describe the additional bonds or notes by serial
number, issue date, denomination, and registration. Do this on a separate sheet of paper and submit it with this
application. This information is required only if payment is requested under Item 3A on page 1.
ITEM 5. Sign the form in ink, print your name, and provide your address, daytime telephone number, and e-mail address. The
application must also be signed by contributors, if any. All signatures to the form must be properly certified. (See
"CERTIFICATION" below.) If joining in the application is inconvenient for the contributors, their consents may be furnished
on separate sheets of paper. The consents must be worded to refer specifically to the action being requested and must be
properly signed and the signatures certified.
CERTIFICATION – Each person whose signature is required must appear before and establish identification to the satisfaction of an
authorized certifying officer. The signatures to the form must be signed in the officer's presence. The certifying officer must affix the seal
or stamp which is used when certifying requests for payment. Authorized certifying officers are available at banking institutions, including
credit unions, in the United States. For a list of individuals authorized to act as certifying officers, see Department of the Treasury
Circulars, No. 530, and Public Debt Series No. 3-80.
WHERE TO SEND – Send the application and any supporting evidence to the Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Public Debt,
PO Box 7012, Parkersburg, WV 26106-7012. If payment or reinvestment is requested, the bonds or notes must be submitted with the
