Resources

Our site has a single function: to determine if a person is in active military service. Creditors (such as banks and mortgage companies) and their attorneys and agents as well as others need to be cautious about taking certain action against people who are on active duty or who may have recently left active duty (the Act’s protections may extend up to a year after termination of active duty).

People who contract with Servicemembers may also need some verification. Searches are conducted to determine whether or not a servicemember is active, and subject to the protections of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA).

We do not, however, offer legal advice and therefore recommend that you contact your closest legal resource or if you are in the military, try your local Judge Advocate General.
