Sometimes. If your bank account has fraud protection you can go through your banks fraud reporting procedures and seek a refund. There are limits to fraud protection claims, you will need to verify with your bank what (if any) fraud protection policies are available on your account. Additionally in some regions you may be eligible for crime victims compensation. Check with your local law enforcement to see if you are eligible for this type of compensation as well. If you are not eligible for compensation and you have no fraud protection on your account you will not be able to recover your money short to taking the person(s) who defrauded you to court, either criminal or small claims.

Banks typically have a fraud protection policy that covers losses from forged checks. You should report the incident to the bank as soon as possible, provide any necessary documentation, and cooperate with their investigation to have a chance at getting a refund.

Does chase bank refund money from a stolen check?
This actually just happened to me recently. Chase will not refund your check unless they get the actual money back from the bank that the check was cashed at. Basically you have to present proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the check that you originally wrote it to is indeed the payee and not the person who stole it. This may include a carbon copy of the check you originally wrote. For my case I had a letter notarized saying the individual who stole my check did not work for the company that I wrote it to and I also presented previous checks written to prove that the check was altered.

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.
