Best Answer

A check that is older than 180 days is considered a stale or expired check. It is worthless and carries no value. You cannot cash such a check. Since the check is expired, the check issuing bank will not pay for it. Irrespective of who issued the check or for what it was given for, a check older than 180 days is expired and is of no use.
