Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act

The Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act is a law that provides financial protection for active-duty servicemembers and their families. It temporarily reduces interest rates on certain debts, halts legal proceedings, and delays eviction or foreclosure processes to prevent financial hardship during military service. The law ensures servicemembers are not unfairly disadvantaged while fulfilling their military duties. It also outlines how courts and creditors should handle cases involving military personnel, helping balance their service commitments with legal and financial responsibilities.
