Many, many different bills carry that legend. Please post a new question with the bill's date, denomination, seal color, and whether there is a small letter next to the date.
More than a modern $100 dollar bill. The money being printed currently has no value other than what the Federal Reserve says it has. That's why modern bills to not say "pay to the bearer" but rather just simply "Federal Reserve Note". Over printing of FIAT money has contributed to the collapse of the dollar.
If it has a green seal, it's worth $12 to $15.
That phrase appears on many older bills. Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question with its date, what letter if any is next to the date, and the bill's seal color.

1934-series $100 bills had the same boilerplate phrasing that's on all bills of the period:"The United States of America"The bill's type; in this case, "Federal Reserve Note"Its denominationThe phrase "Will pay to the bearer on demand"The phrase "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private, and is redeemable in lawful money at the United States Treasury or any Federal Reserve Bank"One phrase not found on the bill is the motto "In God We Trust"; that wasn't added to $100 bills until 1963.Note that because the US was no longer on the gold standard in 1934, some of the words such as "pay to the bearer" and "lawful money" were simply holdovers from the days of precious-metal backing. They were effectively circular references and were removed from later bills.
do you help pay bills
The only $20 bills printed in the 1934 series were Federal Reserve Notes so I'm assuming that's what you have. In worn condition most of these retail for about $22 despite their age. In better shape the retail price depends on what series letter, if any, is next to the date. Series D bill retail for up to $30 in excellent condition, Series C up to $28, and the rest up to $24. FWIW, the last $20 silver certificates were issued in 1891. The wording "will pay to bearer on demand" is found on older FRN's but was removed from later series.
