It’s possible you didn’t have to do that form, my husband didn’t but for some reason my account couldn’t be verified.

And based on my understanding if your son isn’t able to purchase the bonds now because his account isn’t verified then he would not get the 9% interest. What I did is have my husband buy the bond for me as a gift and once my account is verified he will gift it to me (which hopefully is before the end of the year so it can count towards my 2022 limit).

Well that would be a bummer. All my orders are in, so hopefully they get filled before the rate change

Good to hear, thanks!

Yeah I saw the rate change, I figured if we can lock the 9% for the next 6 months we’re in better shape than what the money was getting in our savings account. It’s our house reno fund, so we still have probably 1.5-2 years until we need access to it

Yeah I saw it could take up to 13 weeks, but I wasn’t sure if that’s just something they say in case it takes that long or if generally people were getting it done in less time than that. Guess I’ll roll the dice and buy the gift now hoping it will be verified before the end of the year

Okay thanks! Yeah I know it won’t happen before the rate changes. The plan was to buy $10k for each of us and then each buy a $10k gift for 2023, but my account didn’t get verified so I was hoping we could at least have my husband gift me $10k this year (buying it now with the rate now) and then he’ll also gift me $10k in 2023
