It won't matter, they'll catch it. A guy in my class at Mesa had his checkride invalidated a month after the fact for his written expiring at the end of July after we'd started class. He had to go take the ATP training course at his expense and retake the written, oral and checkride before he could start IOE.
Similar scenario happened to my buddy. Took his oral/check ride, and was almost done with IOE when he got a call saying his written had expired during ground school. He has now completed the atp course and awaiting instructions. I wonder if he will have to redo his ATP oral/check ride.
