了解你在SCRA下的权利

概述

We support our military by making sure our servicemembers are aware of the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) and the benefits it offers. The SCRA expands and improves the provisions of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act of 1940 (SSCRA), allowing persons on active duty in the United States Military to devote their full attention to service by easing some of their financial obligations and, 在某些情况下, suspending the enforcement of civil liabilities. As an active duty member of the United States Military, you may be eligible for SCRA benefits and protections.

Some of the SCRA's benefits and protections–such as the interest-rate cap limitation and protection from non-judicial foreclosure and repossession–are intended to protect military personnel who had an existing obligation prior to becoming active duty military but are less able to manage their finances while in active service. Other SCRA protections, such as protection from evictions apply to all active duty members.
