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 Fiscal Service.  
   •     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.

            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 FS Form 1048 must also be completed and submitted. 
         B. 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 the Fiscal Service 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,  FS Form  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.   
         C. MISSING BONDS -  Mark this box If you wish to obtain electronic substitutes for bonds which have been lost, stolen, or 
            destroyed.  As voluntary guardian, you must also complete a FS Form 1048 and submit it with this application.  If any 
            other person is named on the bonds, he or she must join in signing the FS Form 1048.  NOTE:  For Series EE and Series 
            I bonds, we no longer issue substitute bonds in paper form.  We issue those substitute bonds in electronic form, in our 
            online system TreasuryDirect. For more information, go to www.treasurydirect.gov.

  ITEM 5. A.  CONTRIBUTION – Show whether or not you are contributing to the incapacitated person's support.  If other persons are

              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
