Report accrued EE Bond interest on final tax return

[Gretel]

When the executor is electing to report the accrued interest for EE bonds on the deceased final tax return on cash basis, I assume it does not matter if these bonds were mature already before the deceased died or not, right? Cash basis taxpayer, did not cash bonds up to 2 years before death.
