Does anyone know an alternative way to cash in a check? My country is unable to do it, I don’t have any american bank account, but I do have a SSN. Can anyone help?

Since I’m not in USA, I can’t cash it in on PayPal, it just gives me an error.

If you have a local bank account you should be able to deposit the check and then wait for the check to be verified by the bank so you will have access to the funds.  This should take several days or longer depending on the banking system in your country.

I asked every local bank from my city, and they said they don’t cash in checks anymore.

The banks should take the check for a deposit.  Stop trying to cash it and just deposit it into your bank account.

Citibank is a US bank with a branch in Romania.  If it is local you could try and open an account and deposit the US Treasury check from the IRS at that branch.
