“Over the past 12 years, SCRA compliance for American businesses has become more complex as enforcement actions have increased across the lending, housing, and collections industries,” said Roy L.

The verification process draws on real-time records from the Defense Manpower Data Center, the authoritative federal source for active duty status under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
