Savings Bond Social Security Numbers

I purchased a EE savings bond for my grandson and found that I put the wrong social security number on it. How do I get this corrected?   Tom's response   The Social Security Number on the bond is used only when the bond is lost or stolen. It isn't used for tax purposes. When a Savings Bond is cashed, whoever cashes the bond must provide their own social security number for tax purposes - the Social Security Number on the bond is ignored. Consequently, the Treasury doesn't correct mistakes in these numbers. You should keep a photocopy or two of the bond in a safe place so that if the original is ever lost or stolen, you'll have the original registration information that's on the bond.
