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%?
No it means they can stop offering it at anytime. But once you buy your cd. Your account is locked

It is not.

"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of twelve (12) months or less, the penalty we impose will equal ninety (90) days' simple interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.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than twelve (12) months, the penalty we impose will equal one hundred eighty (180) days' simple interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.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."

It's on their huge terms page here [salliemae.com].

I'm guessing the 4-Week T-Bill will be auctioned at 5.5% on 8/2/23.

Have 160K CD that just matured. Thinking of reinvesting to something. I never had bought Tbills before. I don't need the money for the next year or so. What would be the Best thing for me to do?

No state tax on Tbills if that is of consequence.
The treasurydirect website can be a PITA (for some...it wasn't for me) if not using a brokerage firm
Rates should be similar

SGOV is an ETF that ladders short term T-bills. Every month it craps out a dividend and it's much easier to liquidate if you need to than T-bills that you buy directly. Not FDIC insured though, but if the government defaults on treasuries then FDIC insurance is probably toast too, so it seems pretty safe.

SGOV is way better. Why do a CD when you can just buy SGOV from any broker?
