Legally, US Federal Reserve Notes with more that 50% of the bill present are worth the full face value. On the other hand, businesses are NOT required to accept any specific currency. You may be better of taking the bill to a bank.
EDIT: Some people mentioned serial numbers. They are NOT required.

Yes as long as it is not missing 1/2 or more, some retailers might not accept it. But go to a bank that you do business with or have an account at and they should accept it.

Most people should take it, because the U.S. Treasury accepts any partial bills as legal if at least 51% of the bill is still there.

As long as the serial numbers are intact I think they still have to take it. But you should be able to exchange it at a bank either way.

Yep, as long as you over half and the serial number is on it, it is worth $20!

It's still legal... if nobody will accept it, simply take it to a bank and they will exchange it for a whole one !
