I know this family pretty well and love them, but just after Christmas break I received a notice from my bank saying their check had been returned for nonsufficient funds. Should I mention it, or assume they know? I didn't think they were low on money, but now I wonder.

They obviously know. You get notified when a check that YOU write bounces, right?
I had a customer who wrote a bad check once. She called me to tell me before my bank notified me that it bounced.
Call them on it, but in a nice way. Politely tell them that the check they wrote bounced. If they are really your friends, they will fall all over themselves apologizing as they pay you what they owe in cash.
If they don't do that, forget it. You won't get the money, and the time and anguish it would take to get it would cost you more than what they owe you.
But never provide services to them again, and realize they aren't really your friends.

This could happen to anyone even if they have a good credit account. Sometime it was an innocent mistakes somewhere. However, they might not even know it. You need to tell them and go from there. They might end up give you the other check for that amount plus pay for your bank account, or give you cash. You need to tell them. You might save them if they didn't know. Next time, cash that check at their bank. Don't put it in your bank account.

You should get ahold of them and see if they have the money to cover the check, they should also give you back the NSF charge on your account. If they refuse you can take the check to a magistrate and file charges to get your money. They can also be held responsible for any extra costs that you that you have to pay out trying to get your money. Good Luck

I would mention it, being that you are providing a service for them you are entitled to those funds. You can also call your bank to see if they can run it again to see if the funds are now available. Good luck!

I'd let them know and charge them an extra fee.
