Best Answer

No. Both have to sign the check.

A bit more:

Unless the laws on this have changed since I worked in banking, an exception to this is if the husband and wife have a joint bank account, then only one of them can endorse (sign) the check if they deposit it directly into their joint account.

Can you cash a refund check made out to someone else if they sign the back of it?

No. A check can be cashed only by the individual to whom the check is made out (issued) to. No one else can cash it even if it is signed by the person to whom the check was given. If you try to do so, it is an illegal activity and you can be jailed for it. But, you can deposit that check into the account of the person to whom the check was given if he has signed the back of the check (endorsed it) and no one will stop you if you do this and it is perfectly legal.
