I would believe so....

If there's an expiration date it would say so on the check.

You are more likely to run into problems if the check is older then one year.

Here are the two options you have:

A) Sit on the check and never cash it, thinking of the money you could have had.

B) Deposit the check. After all, even if it bounces at least you tried - and it only cost you 5 minutes of your time.

If I were you, I'd go with option B.
