Two questions about my personal check

[stevenw60 0]

I wrote my personal check to "Department of Homeland Security" and not "US Department of Homeland Security" is that ok?

Also, I moved in the past couple months and my checks still have my old adress on them, should that be a problem?

Thanks

Your check should cash fine without having "US" in front of the "Department of Homeland Security". If you've moved in the past couple of months, I hope you have let you bank know about the change of address. Your cancelled checks and statements will be returned to them if the new person at the address does not throw it away.

My bank knows my current address, I just have not ordered new check with my new address on them.

I only wrote Dept. of homeland security because i have a big handwriting and it was cashed fine.

I am not 100% sure but i don't think they pay attention at the adress on your check......in their guides it even says if someone else is writing a check for you make sure you have your name on top of the checks ( meaning you can write it down) they didn't say anything about the adress. i don't think you have anything to worry about.

good luck

So long as it has your name on it, you should be fine. If your bank has online banking, just watch for the check to be cashed. You'll probably be okay!

Don't worry about the old address on your checks. I had the same situation, and my check cleared just fine. In fact, my checks still have my bank's old name on them, (my bank was bought by a bigger bank, and assumed that name) and there was no problem w/ cashing my check....as long as the routing and account#'s are correct your money will be debited from your account just fine.

Good luck w/ your "journey".
