Those fighting for our country need to know the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act (SCRA). This law provides some important financial protections for our military.

One of those protections was set to expire at the end of last year, but Congress extended it to make it permanent. The measure prohibits lenders from foreclosing for one year following the servicemember’s return from active duty. The measure is particularly important to reservists and National Guard members who have to give up full-time jobs to honor their commitments to our country. One important point: The service member must have taken out the mortgage prior to starting active duty.

I’ve provided a link to information about the Act at the end of my blog.
