We are authorized by the Treasury to hold such applications in suspense for a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt After this period, if the identifying num ber has not been received, the application will be returned and must be subm itted as a new application.

New application forms for Series H bonds are in the process of preparation and will pro vide for the insertion of the Social Security or Em ployer Identification number. Until such time as the new forms become available, please continue using the application forms you now have and include the tax account num ber of the owner of the new bond as part of the inscription.
