Authorization for someone to cash a government check issued to me while I am residing abroad

Question

I live in Sweden. I was issued a check from the US Government but Swedish banks do not honour foreign checks ... and the US Government refuses to put the amount directly into my Swedish account.
If I send my check to a family member in the US will she be able to cash it or put it into her own American account? The amount is less than $2,000.

Yes. You can endorse the check to a third party. On the back of the check, there's a section where you can write "Pay to the order of [family member name]" Then sign your name below the endorsement.
