In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: For electronic bonds, you have to cash in a minimum of $25. If you redeem only a part of your bond, you must leave at least $25 in your account. For paper bonds, there is no limit to value you can redeem. Your bank might have a policy on how much of your paper bond they will redeem in one transaction. If you have individual paper bonds, they cannot be split. Each bond must be redeemed in full. Electronic bonds can be redeemed online and credited directly to a checking account within 1 or 2 days. Simply go to https://www.treasurydirect.gov/ and redeem your bonds in your account. If you don't have a TreasuryDirect account, click "Open an Account" on their homepage. You will need your social security number or Employer Identification Number, a valid email address, a US address, and your bank account number and routing number. Check with your local bank to see if they redeem EE savings bonds. If they do, be sure to find out if they have a dollar limit on redemptions. Ask what identification or other documents you will need to bring with you. If your bank won't redeem your paper bonds, look up the local Federal Reserve bank in your area and contact them for instructions on how to redeem them. Note that the policies about redeeming bonds less than and greater than $1,000 in person may differ. Paper bonds greater than $1,000 may require a certifying officer to be with you when you cash in the bond. You can also convert your paper bonds into electronic bonds online at http://www.treasurydirect.gov/BC/SBCPrice. Set up an account and login. Then click "Manage Direct," and then "Establish a Conversion Linked Account" in the "Manage My Linked Accounts" menu. Click "Create Account" and follow the instructions. If you no longer have your paper bonds, you can still cash them in. Fill out TreasuryDirect's Form 1048 at https://www.treasurydirect.gov/forms/sav1048.pdf. Be sure to include as much information as possible about your bond (names of the owners, social security numbers, date issued, dollar amounts, serial numbers, etc.). You will need to sign the document and have it certified by a certifying officer at your local bank or credit union. Mail the form to: Treasury Retail Securities SitePO Box 214Minneapolis, MN 55480-0214. If you are in an area that's been affected by a disaster, you only need to complete parts 1, 5, 6.B. and 7. Be sure to write "Disaster" on the top of the form's first page and on the envelope. If you are outside the US, you can have your form certified at a US embassy or consulate, by an American bank branch, or by a notary public who is certified by a US diplomatic or consular office. Whether you cash in the bonds online or in person, you will need to prove that you are entitled to the bond. If the owner has died and you are listed as a survivor on the bond, you will need to present a copy of the death certificate and proof of your identity. If you are redeeming a paper bond and you are named the survivor, be sure to call the bank before you go in to clarify what documents they require. If there are no survivors named on the bond, the bond goes into the estate of the deceased owner. If the bonds in the deceased owner's estate total more than $100,000, the court system will administer the estate and reassign the bonds to new owners. If the bonds in the deceased owner's estate equal less than $100,000 and no court is involved, request ownership of the bond(s) by filling out FS Form 5336 at https://www.treasurydirect.gov/forms/sav5336.pdf, sign it in the presence of a certifying officer, send the bond and the form to:Treasury Retail Securities SiteP.O. Box 214Minneapolis, MN 55480-0214 You have the option of deferring taxes until you cash the bond in, or paying taxes when the bond matures whichever comes first. If you do not wish to defer taxes, you may pay them at the end of the year. If you wish to factor in an education tax credit, it's best to defer taxes until you cash the bond in. Although you usually must pay taxes on the interest you earned on your savings bonds, you may be eligible for an exemption if you use the money for higher education expenses. These expenses include tuition, books, and other supplies directly related to your education. The owner of the bond must be 24 years old before the issue date of the bond, so parents who buy bonds to pay for their child's education should put the bond in their own name and list their child as a beneficiary (and not a co-owner). That also means if you are using a bond to pay for your education, you will only be exempt from tax if the bond is in your parents' name.
Summary: Decide how much of the bond you want to redeem. Redeem an electronic bond online. Take your paper savings bonds to the bank. Redeem lost, stolen, or destroyed bonds by mail. Have proof that you are entitled to the bond if you aren't listed as the owner. Be prepared to pay taxes on your EE savings bond. Use bonds issued after 1989 for education to get a tax break.

Problem: Article: Creating a jumpsuit is a pretty easy project, but you will need some special items. Before you begin, you will need: a pair of loose-fitting sweatpants a loose fitting tank top some stretchy jersey or comparable fabric in the print or color of your choice a pair of sharp scissors pins a sewing machine If you do not want to make pants, then you can also use a pair of old pajama bottoms for the pant bottoms of your jumpsuit. Then, all you will have to do is create a matching top and add the top to the pants. Choose a fabric color and type that matches your pajama bottoms. For example, if the pajama bottoms are navy blue and made of a jersey material, then select a similar navy blue jersey material for the top. Or, if the pajama bottoms feature a print, choose a solid in the dominant color of the print, such as red if the print is mostly red. Fold your fabric in half so that the print is facing in. Then, lay the fabric on a hard, clean surface, such as a large table or on the floor (as long as it is clean). Smooth out the fabric so that there are no ripples. Then, place your sweatpants on top of the fabric. There is no pattern for this project, but you can use your sweatpants to help you make the jumpsuit in the right size. Fold the sweatpants in half so that the legs are lined up with each other. Then, lay the pants on top of your folded fabric. The waistband of the pants should be near the folded edge and the inseam of the pants should be facing out towards the outer edge of the fabric.
Summary:
Gather your materials. Consider using a pair of old pajama pants for the bottoms. Lay out your fabric and sweatpants.
