Investopedia explains 'Joint Endorsement'

Joint endorsements are usually required by banks before they will cash certain kinds of checks. Checks issued by the U.S. Government, such as tax refund checks, typically fall into this category. Joint endorsements can be required regardless of whether the underlying account is "tenants in common," "tenants with rights of survivorship" or "tenants by the entirety."
