The 3-Month Treasury yield here is the 3-month constant-maturity yield (FRED series DGS3MO), quoted in percent a year, on an investment (bond-equivalent) basis rather than the bill’s discount rate. It is read off the par yield curve the US Treasury fits each business day to bid-side quotes for the most recently auctioned Treasuries at about 3:30 pm New York time, so it is not the yield of any one security.
