Both parties would need to be present (with ID) at the financial institution so that both endorsements can be verified to cash the check. - this depends on certain factors, depending on type of check and/or financial institution.

In some cases the payee can endorse the check over to another person by adding certain phraseology, and the original payee may or may not have to be present for the second endorser (payee) to be able to cash the check - ID in either case is usually required. Or, the "new" (second) payee would have to show ID, and/or use a bank he/she has an account. Sometimes banks will require that it be deposit only, for safety/protection of both the bank and the original payee, to "hold" it for 3-5 days before releasing funds from an account.

To save typing out all scenarios one can or can't will only make this into a long article there are many factors, and it's not a yes or no answer. Example of other factors: say the payee, first or second, does successfully cash the check, but later it's found that there were not sufficient funds, someone can be in big trouble. Both financially and legally.

It is not a good idea to write a check with "Cash" as the payee because if you or the payee lose the check, anyone could pick it up and cash it, and the bank would not be responsible for the lost funds, since making a check payable to "Cash" essentially allows anyone holding the check to cash it.
