Technically the money is not in their pocket. The check must be deposited or cashed by the person it is written out to, or otherwise endorsed. If the payee does not cash or deposit the check, they cannot give it out like bills of currency. When the check is deposited, the money is taken out of the check writer's account and deposited to the person it is written out to. If you cash it instead, the institution gives you their money and takes money out of the check writer's account.
