Hey guys! I need your help in knowing if I should cash this Google AdSense check. I got the check around December 18th and then it got taken out of my mailbox, so I filed a "stolen" claim with Google but they never said if they had canceled the check. Now the check got put back in my mailbox, and it's January 24th. The mailbox issue is a story in itself, but what matters is if it's okay that I cash the check. Google never told me they canceled it, but if they did and I cash it, won't I get a bad check charge on my bank account? Thanks for letting me know!
Wouldn't it make more sense to contact the bank directly and see what they can do, because no one can really know about whether Google cancelled some check or not. Perhaps you should contact your bank and ask them and I am sure they will be better able to guide you. If the check was indeed canceled, perhaps the bank can determine that
it would take google about 1 month to cancel your check. have you deposited the check to bank? try it. if you are lucky then it will get cashed else if they already canceled the payment, it will bounce. if you are still not sure, wait for one month and next month you will get all your money in one check.
Google can cancel checks VERY rapidly. This check is going to be cancelled for sure - they only reissue once the first is confirmed cancelled in their systems. You might be charged a cancelled check bounce fee by your bank too.
