If you find a bank that will cash it for you yes, If not then no? I would suggest depositing it into your bank account as banks are getting less and less joyful about cashing tax refund checks without having an account.
Contact the tax agency (state or federal) that was supposed to issue the refund and ask if the check made payable to you was ever cashed. If not, it can be re-issued - if it was, ask them how to proceed since you allege that you never received it.
In New York State, a tax refund check is generally valid for one year from the date it is issued. If not cashed within that timeframe, the check will become void, and the funds will revert to the state. Taxpayers can request a replacement check if the original is lost or expired. It's advisable to cash or deposit the check promptly to avoid any issues.

In Ohio, state tax refunds are typically processed within 4 to 6 weeks after filing, but it can take longer during peak tax season or if there are issues with the return. If you received your federal refund first, it doesn't directly affect the timing of your state refund. You can check the status of your Ohio state refund online for more accurate updates.
It is June and I haven't received my state tax check owed to me. Is it Lost?
yes there is... As there is on most all major business or government checks...but that is for safety and concerns the check itself not an expiration on what they are paying If you have an expired check that was never cashed it is a simple process to have the check replaced with a new one. (Basically return it and if their system shows what it was for was never paid or otherwise applied, they send you a replacement).
Not a federal refund (except for parts of the refund due to worthless securities or bad debt). And not most states. But check your specific state.
