That is correct to my understanding. The bond payment comes due once a year and I think it's July 1st. Folks on here that pay it separate may know otherwise. If you have enough to pay off the bond at the due date, and would like to do so, you can do so. I also understand that you cannot pay a part other than 1 year or the full amount. (does that make sense?)
