As a member of the United States Armed Forces, you and your loved ones should be protected to the full extent of the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act (SCRA), formerly the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act (SSCRA), also less formally referred to as the Civil Service Relief Act, Military Relief Act, or simply the SCRA Act.
Understanding Your Rights Under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act
The SCRA is one of the military’s longest-standing federal laws, which aims to provide peace of mind to active-duty military members and their families. Through the language of the SCRA, military members are granted temporary suspension from certain civil duties, including outstanding debts, mortgage payments, taxes, and lease terminations.
However, these financial issues are not always taken into account by banks, car dealerships, and landlords, as active military members now have to balance serving their country against the threat of high interest rates, foreclosures, repossession, and wrongful termination of leases.
