"Penalties for Early Withdrawal. As noted above, a penalty will be imposed for withdrawals of principal before maturity. If your CD has a maturity of twelve (12) months or less, the penalty we impose will equal ninety (90) days' simple interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty. If your CD has a maturity greater than twelve (12) months, the penalty we impose will equal one hundred eighty (180) days' simple interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty. If the amount required to be forfeited is greater than the interest earned or paid on your CD, we will deduct the difference from principal. In certain circumstances, such as the death or incompetence of an Accountholder, the law permits, and in some cases requires, the waiver of the early withdrawal penalty."

I know they're FDIC insured so you can get your $ back, but does this mean they can modify the rate and you don't get the 5.5%?

The treasurydirect website can be a PITA (for some...it wasn't for me) if not using a brokerage firm
Rates should be similar
