National Bond & Trust (NBT) has assumed the administrative responsibilities of the JPL U.S. Savings Bond Program through payroll deduction.  NBT will issue and mail your Bonds once a month; implement all changes and updates to an employee’s account, and conduct periodic informative meetings to discuss new products and services.  The utilization of NBT will result in the following improvements:

Savings Bond Hotline :  Employees will now be able to call NBT directly at their toll free number, (800) 426-9314 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CST Monday though Friday for general information or to make any changes to an account.  The phone number is also to be used to report lost or stolen Bonds, or errors in the preparation of the Bonds issued to you.  Enrollments and cancellations can also be initiated by phone.

Flexibility in Bond Ownership :  Under NBT, an employee can set up their payroll Bond account with any ownership rotation that they prefer.  For example, an employee with three children can elect to have Bonds issued alternately to each child as Bonds are paid for through payroll deduction.  There is no limit to the number of persons among whom an employee may elect to rotate ownership of the Bonds.

U.S. Savings Bond Continuation Plan:   You may elect to add the U.S. Savings Bond Continuation Plan to your payroll savings program.  In the event of your untimely death, your named beneficiary will receive a $100 U.S. Savings Bond every month for 10 years.
