How long does it take a us treasury savings bond to mature?

Question

The saving bond is being purchased for a child. If it matures in say, 7 years, do you just cash it in and buy another one or does it continue to accrue interest until she needs it for school?

Answer 1

You can get information such as this at www.savingsbonds.gov. You'll need to know the series of the bond (E, I, EE, etc) to find specific information.

Good Luck!
