Personal Checks. The financial institution redeeming a check determines the expiration date of a personal check. The Uniform Commercial Code permits the accepting institution to decide whether it will redeem checks dated more than six months before the date you take the check to the institution.
Whatever the Expiration Date Says. Many payroll checks include a restrictive legend that asks the bank not to cash the check if it is older than a certain amount of days. In this case, you should cash it before this expiry date to avoid any hassles.n general, all checks become stale after six months. However, state law may require that banks honor any payroll claim, even if the date on the restrictive legend has passed. In addition, banks typically do not look at the date on a check, so it will likely get cashed.
