This depends on several factors. Did your tax return include a period during the year where you were not yet divorced? Was it a joint return? Is the check made payable to both you and your ex wife? If the answer to any of the above is yes, then no, you cannot cash the check without her endorsing it, too. If you forge her signature (or have someone forge it for you) and cash it, then you will be subject to serious penalty, as will anyone involved in helping forge your ex wife's name.

You will not get a cash refund. You will get your check back if it is the same day. Otherwise, the store will wait until your check has cleared the bank to make certain you have the money to buy the product. Otherwise, you will be charged for an overdrawn check and prosecuted by the company.
Because that is the rule. If someone does not cash a check paid out to him for that long, probably he has either lost it or does not wish to cash it. So in such cases, to prevent illegal activities (like a stolen check being cashed by a fraudster) there is a validity date associated with each check. In most cases it is 90 days and in some countries it is up to 180 days.

what happens if you cash a duplicate social security disabilty check
i think so
If your name is on it and you have not signed it then they can not legally cash the check. I've seen someone from the mortgsge co forge the homeowners name to cash it before though.
Report the forgery to your local policy department and the insurance company and you will probably be made whole.

Either the check bounces and somebody goes to jail, or you get 5000 bucks.
The check rebounds on the sender... And their account gets charged.
Check, yes. Cash, no.
If you send a check in the mail as payment, you have a paper trail that shows that you paid the amount and that the entity cashed it at the bank. If your mail is stolen, cash is easily converted to what a thief would want and does not leave a trail of behavior. A mailed check requires more steps required to change it into cash that may cause him to be apprehended.
A debit card, because cash can be stolen. If your card is stolen then you can cancle the card and get your money back.
