Its a payroll check that I must have misplaced, found it a stack of old papers that I was shreding. It is from a former employer. Is there anyway to fix it?

90 days is the limit Answerman unless you can get the employer to cut you another check.

Three possible options...
1) Present it at a bank for deposit or cash. They can either verify with the company and process OR refuse for stale date.
2) Contact the company (if they still exist) and get them to reissue the check, or
3) If the company is really on their toes, they would have submitted as unclaimed property to the state treasurer. If they have, you can process a claim to retreive your money.
You should not be out the money UNLESS the company no longer exists AND they failed to send the unclaimed funds to the state.
I hope it's a big check!!

All checks are only good for 6 months from the date written. This is something that is verified on every check cleared. It may be possible to get a replacement issued, but after 9 years, you may be SOL.

No you can't cash the check. Get the employer to give you a replacement.

It depends on the banking laws in your area and your bank. If you cant then you must have the check reissued with a current date. Call your bank to find out their rules on it

Tellers are too busy to check the date on every check. but if the account is closed or inactive, it'll bounce .
