Hi all,

Government issued check was presented with the payee line "Jane Doe for John Doe". Can this item be cashed by Jane Doe or does it have to be treated as if it was "FBO" John Doe? Are they one and the same?

Thanks for your help as everyone seems to be split as to whether or not we can cash this item.

Typically, a bank would not cash such a check.

"For" or "FBO" is the same and should be treated the same.
