They are still valid, but you have to add additional postage to make up the 44 cent rate. Unless they are the Forever Stamps, in which case you can still use them for up to an ounce of First Class postage.

∙ 14y agoIf the stamps is a forever stamp ( says "forever" on it and show the liberty bell),
its value automatically increased to the new rate and it is still pays 1st class postage.
Otherwise, it is only good for the amount it sold for and you must make up the increase with additional stamps.

Why isn't the price on US stamp?
Since in the last several years the price (of postage as well as goods in general) has risen so fast, the price of a stamp has changed often. This has made it difficult to plan on buying stamps, adding a two- or three-cent stamp to make up the difference when using up stamps bought before the last increase. With the "Forever" stamp, you can buy a supply of them, and you don't have to mess around with additional stamps to make up the difference.
