A check that is older than 90 days (or 180 days depending on the Country) 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.

So the person has 90 (or at max 180) days to cash a check that is issued to him/her.
