L3.1 Writing a Check
3 Rules for Writing Checks
1. Always Write the Check in Pen.– Pencil is easily erased and
changed by someone else.
2. Always be Accurate.– If you make a mistake, void the
check and write a new one.
3. Sign the Check Last.– Don’t leave your signature lying
around. Only sign the good checks.
![Page 14: Copyright 2014 © W. Seth Hunter ConsumerMath.org L3.1 Writing a Check Being proficient in paying bills and tracking finances is important to ensure financial](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1b5503460f94c30946/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

L3.1 Writing a Check
One more thing…
4. Checks are only good for about 6 months from the date written on them.– This especially causes trouble in
January of a new year. If you write the wrong year on the check, the bank may not honor it.
