Circular Wo. 73-1^5
June 20, 1973

To All Qualified Issuing Agents for United States
Savings Bonds in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

1973?
clude
first
dates

Our circular letter Wo. 73-19? dated January 2 k ,
advised you of the requirement that issuing agents in­
the social security account number of the owner or
named coowner on all Series E savings bonds with issue
of October 1, 1973? or later.

This letter is to remind you of the importance of
full compliance with the requirement by October 1, 1973- Al­
though the effective date is some months away, issuing agents,
particularly those agents which issue bonds for payroll savings
plans, are urged to expedite the change in such issues to in­
clude the social security account numbers.
As outlined in the instruction sheet, Form PD k l Q 2 ,
which accompanied our letter of January 2 k , financial institu­
tions issuing bonds on over-the-counter sales should begin
immediately to inscribe numbers on the bonds when they can be
obtained. It should be noted that while the social security
account number of a second named coowner or a beneficiary Is
not mandatory, it is highly desirable if the number can be
obtained without unduly delaying issuance.
If you have any questions concerning the requirement,
please let us know. Your cooperation in implementing the
change will be appreciated.
