Service Members Civil Relief Act (SCRA)

The Service Members Civil Relief Act (SCRA) is a U.S. law designed to protect active-duty military personnel from financial and legal challenges while they serve. It allows service members to temporarily suspend certain civil obligations, such as evictions, foreclosure proceedings, and legal judgments, to ensure they can focus on their duties without undue stress. The SCRA also includes provisions for lower interest rates on loans and protections against the cancellation of leases, helping to ease the burdens on service members and their families during their time of service.
