Three criminal offenses are present in the question. (1) The THEFT of the check (2) The FORGERY of the signature (3) the UTTERING/passing of the forged check. The theft of the check (because of its small monetary value) will be a misdemeanor. Depending upon the law of the jurisdiction in which this took place it could either be a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the amount the check was forged for. You will have to check your local state statutes to determine the penalties for these offenses.

What happens if you help a friend cash a check on your bank account and then later find out it was fake and old stolen from her dad and the dad reported it?
Report her to the police for fraud. Take her to small claims court for the money. Go to the police department that has jurisdiction over where the check was cashed (i.e., if the check was cashed at an Orlando bank, contact Orlando PD). Ask to fill out a statement in which you admit to cashing the check but deny all knowledge that it was stolen and forged. The reason you want to do this is that if the Dad already made a report, it's going to be very hard for you to prove you didn't know what you were doing and you could be charged for uttering a forged check. By proactively making a statement to the police, you're saying you're not guilty and you had nothing to do with the incident. This is important because in many states uttering a forged check is a felony. Believe me, this is what I do all day. Make a statement and hope your friend tells the truth.
