Adjusted Service Bonds (ASBs) were issued in registered form to veterans of World War I. They were issued for amounts due on Adjusted Service Certificates that had not matured. (In effect, Adjusted Service Certificates were 20-year endowment insurance policies maturing in 20 years.)

Bondowners, their survivors, or their representatives can redeem an ASB by completing the back of the certificate and submitting it to:

      Definitives Section
      Bureau of the Public Debt
      P.O. Box 426
      Parkersburg, WV 26106-0426

If you submit a bond for redemption and we need more information or documentation, we will contact you.
