The amount of time a (personal or small business) ordinary check remains valid depends on the institution. The bank MAY use six months as the period before declaring stale (the "uniform") but is allowed to use a longer amount of time AND is not liable for damage it might cost you if they allow a "stale check". This is a "check with your bank" situation. It is important to know if your bank uses moire than six months. Michael D Novack PS -- This is for the US. I have no idea about what the time period might be for other jurisdictions. And even here note I said personal or small business. Large businesses often have specified on the check "void after" and Treasury checks by law are good for one year. Also, things like certified checks, cashier's checks, etc. have different rules. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Before you get tempted to pay for a stop-payment order (just to be sure…), check the terms and conditions written in your bank agreement. Many banks don’t promise to actually not pay the check. There are often weasel words about “best effort” etc. It happened to my sister. She paid for a stop-payment order. When the check arrived at the bank, they paid it. Then they hit her with an overdraft fee because the supposedly stopped payment took her balance below zero. Eventually, she got them to refund the stop-payment fee and the overdraft fee, but they told her she’d have to get the money back herself from the payee. -- Dave Reiser dbrei...@icloud.com > On Mar 4, 2024, at 11:25 PM, R Losey wrote: > > Best wishes -- I'm still waiting for a check from 2018 to clear.

Best wishes -- I'm still waiting for a check from 2018 to clear. I checked with my bank (I thought a check would not be valid after a certain time), and they said they'd honor it if it showed up today. I don't want to spend the money to issue a stop-check order.

Re: [GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 252, Issue 3
Thanks for pointing that out; it helped with the outstanding $200 check I had trouble getting rid of. However, since it won't extend back any farther than 50 days, I think it won't be likely to help when (if?) that check I wrote to the nonprofit back in December finally clears. Eric.
