Once a Series EE bond reaches its final maturity, it stops earning interest, but there are no penalties associated with holding onto it beyond that point. After the 30-year period, the bond has reached its maximum value and it won't continue to accrue interest.
For instance, if you had a $100 Series EE savings bond from the U.S. government, which has a guarantee that it will double in value in 30 years, your bond would be worth $200. However, if it was a different type of bond or had a different interest rate, the value could be quite different.
If you did not surrender your bond slip in the courtroom, you may bring the bond slip or the bond number(s), to the Richard J. Daley Center, 50 West Washington St., Room 1006. A receipt of the transaction will be provided to you for your records. Refund checks are mailed to the address indicated on the bail bond form.
