Can I use a forver stamp today, May 12th? Despite the postage hike?

Trying to send out bills and didn't know if i needed to go to post office to get more stamps - i have those forever stamps with Liberty Bell.

Thanks!

Yes. The idea of the forever stamp has been extremely successful by the US Postal Service. They have sold billions since the rule for the "forever" stamp was introduced. Many people stockpile them to save theirselves a few cents on every item mailed. The stamps you have can be used years from now, at no additional fee for extra postage required with regular rate hikes.

Do you wonder why they call it "forever"? You can use a forever stamp forever. 20 years from now when postage is $10, you can still use it. That probably was why they named it "forever". The new forever stamps still have the Liberty Bell - it just costs more to buy them now.

The forever stamps are good forever so you don't need any additional postage.
