Civil Service Members Relief Act

The Service Members’ Civil Relief Act (SCRA) is a federal statute that protects those who serve on active duty. It seeks to protect service members from negative consequences as a result of being on active duty and allows service members to devote their full attention and energy to their mission. The purpose of the SCRA is to “protect those who have been obliged to drop their own affairs to take up the burdens of the nation.” Boone v. Lightner, 319 U.S. 561, 575 (1943), reh’g denied, 320 U.S. 80
