How long is it taking for the STATE to cash checks?

I'm getting a bad feeling that the application I sent off is getting jammed up for some reason because my certified letter was received last wednesday and the bastards have still not cashed the damn check. Last year they cashed the check within 3 days of receiving it. Is it just me getting shafted or are they taking longer to cash checks these days?

Not to alarm you but you may have a concern there because usually they cash that check right away. Now the rest will still take a long time but that check gets cashed RIGHT AWAY. Good luck.

Did you get your green card back from the post office with the stamp that the application was delivered? If you did you are really good to go 21 days after that. But I do understand about wanting to have everything first. I dont think it necessarily means something with your app. is wrong or you may be denied it just means somewhere along the lines it has met some kind of jam. I say this because they would cash the check still first off before they even look at the app.

Yep, I got the green card back stamped received on the 8th and here it is the 15th and still no check cashed. I literally typed all the required info on all of the paperwork except of course the signatures and I've looked over all the paperwork 10 times already and there is no typo or anything. And, like you said, they always cash the check first before they even look at the app so I am just puzzled at what the hell is going on here. I'll just have to sit tight and see what goes down. I'll report back as soon as I get some info.

One weird thing I noticed the stamp the state used to sign the green card with was not the correct address that I sent the app to. Instead of P.O. Box 30083, it's stamped P.O. Box 30026....odd.

Thats where they send it for the CHECK to be taken out first.
Ok that makes more sense than what the lady at LARA told me. She was very nice but didn't explain things too well. She says they're 30-60 days out to send cards. I suppose it doesn't really matter when they cash it if ever at all so long as the paperwork is in order. Maybe my check will fall through the cracks =]

Money doesnt fall through the cracks when you owe it to the state.... lol...... Nice to dream though.

Edited to add..... We are talking about the Michigan Medical Marijuana Program you just never know with them...... Just think about your conversation with them and you understand. lol.....

Hope you see the check cashed soon! I think I'm going to send mine in soon in anticipation of the wait timeafraid-male-afraid-frightened-smiley-emoticon-000293-large.gif

One of my patients checks took almost 3 weeks to cash, vs my other ones only took 2-5 days to cash em, I guess it depends how many are being processed

They got my money order at 6:45 am on the 1st, and I got my card today.
When I was at post office the guy said if I sent it priority it wouldn't get there any faster than registered.
And the earliest either would get there was the 1st.
I was able to see the registered sign time; so I think I got my renewal in 15 minutes early this year.:-P

They changed the cards again.
This one has an orange stripe and some hologram stars and something like the UN symbol with squiggly lines.

Oh I'm going to get a bill drafted to get our new Personalized cards, that way the state can charge us an extra $10 for it, and make a few extra million, *WINK*
