Question I found a paycheck of a previous job that I never deposited or cashed. The check's date is 08/05; will I be able to go to the company with the actual check and request another one for the money that they owe me?
Answer You can do to the company an request another check, however, more than likely there is an escheat law in your state and the amounts have been sent to your state as unclaimed wages. If that is so than you will need to collect from your state through the unclaimed money account.
