Notice
The Mutilated Currency Division processes claims on a first-in, first-out basis. Claim submitters are reminded to complete BEP Form 5283 on BEP’s website before printing and include the form with their claim to receive real-time status updates via email. Please be aware that responses to written, telephone and email inquiries are taking longer than usual. We offer our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Additionally, per Executive Order 14247—Modernizing Payments to and From America's Bank Account, all mutilated currency claims will be redeemed via electronic payment (e.g. ACH transactions) rather than via a Treasury check. If a claimant fails to provide accurate banking information requested on BEP Form 5283 to facilitate the electronic payment, the claim will be further delayed until such information is provided.
The BEP accepts in-person deliveries of mutilated currency at the Washington, D.C. facility, only.
