Cashing Checks without a Bank Account

I am my son's payee and need to cash his SSI checks. I do not have a bank account. Where can I cash them?


You should try to set up an account in your name as representative payee for your son. If that is not possible, you may only be able to cash the checks at your local supermarket, if it has a check-cashing service, or at a check cashing business. The latter can be expensive.
