A minor when?

On your page about How to recover lost Savings Bonds, you include a link to the claim form for lost Savings Bonds. Question four of that form asks about minors named on the bonds. My father was in the Army in 1968-69 and had money taken from his military pay to buy and mail back to me $25.00 Savings Bonds. The bonds were registered with him as owner, POD to me, which makes me the beneficiary. I was a minor at the time but now I am 34 years old. My father died in 2002. Since I'm not a minor anymore, but was a minor when he bought them, how do I answer the question about minors? Tom's response That part of the form is used when someone named on the bond is a minor now, so you can leave it blank. Also, feel free to enclose a note with the form giving additional details, such as your father's being in the Army when he purchased the bonds. Also enclose a copy of his death certificate and your phone number in case they want to call you for additional information.
