The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) is an organization of the Department of Defense that
maintains the Defense Enrollment and Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) database which is the
official source of data on eligibility for military medical care and other eligibility systems.
The Department of Defense strongly supports the enforcement of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act
[50 USCS Appx. §§ 501 et seq] (SCRA) (formerly the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940).
DMDC has issued hundreds of thousands of "does not possess any information indicating that the
individual is currently on active duty" responses, and has experienced a small error rate. In the event the
individual referenced above, or any family member, friend, or representative asserts in any manner that
the individual is on active duty, or is otherwise entitled to the protections of the SCRA, you are strongly
encouraged to obtain further verification of the person's active duty status by contacting that person's
Military Service via the "defenselink.mil" URL provided below. If you have evidence the person is on
active-duty and you fail to obtain this additional Military Service verification, provisions of the SCRA
may be invoked against you.
If you obtain further information about the person ( e.g., an SSN, improved accuracy of DOB, a middle
name), you can submit your request again at this Web site and we will provide a new certificate for that
query.
This response reflects current active duty status only. For historical information, please contact the
Military Service SCRA points-of-contact.
