Series EE savings bonds stop earning interest 30 years after their issue date. After this period, they no longer accumulate interest, and the bond will reach its final maturity. It's important to keep track of the issue date to understand when interest will cease. Bondholders can check the current value and interest status of their bonds through the U.S. Department of the Treasury's website.
