Mary M. Snavely-Dixon, Director
Department of Defense - Manpower Data Center
1600 Wilson Blvd., Suite 400
Arlington, VA 22209-2593
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 DoD strongly supports the enforcement of the Service Members Civil Relief Act (50 USC App. §§
501 et seq, as amended) (SCRA) (formerly known as 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 status by contacting that person's Service via the
"defenselink.mil" URL httr)://www.defenselink.mil/fag/vis/PC09SLDR.htmi. If you have evidence the
person is on active duty and you fail to obtain this additional Service verification, punitive provisions of
the SCRA may be invoked against you. See 50 USC App. §521(c).
If you obtain additional 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 active duty status including date the individual was last on active duty, if it was
within the preceding 367 days. For historical information, please contact the Service SCRA points-of-
contact.
https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/aDDi/scra/noDrenort_do AC/11APIA1,
Request for Military Status Page 2 of 2
More information on "Active Duty Status"
Active duty status as reported in this certificate is defined in accordance with 10 USC § 101(d)(1) for a
period of more than 30 consecutive days. In the case of a member of the National Guard, includes
service under a call to active service authorized by the President or the Secretary of Defense for a period
of more than 30 consecutive days under 32 USC § 502(f) for purposes of responding to a national
emergency declared by the President and supported by Federal funds. All Active Guard Reserve (AGR)
members must be assigned against an authorized mobilization position in the unit they support. This
includes Navy TARS, Marine Corps ARs and Coast Guard RPAs. Active Duty status also applies to a
Uniformed Service member who is an active duty commissioned officer of the U.S. Public Health
Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Commissioned Corps) for a
period of more than 30 consecutive days.
Coverage Under the SCRA is Broader in Some Cases
Coverage under the SCRA is broader in some cases and includes some categories of persons on active
duty for purposes of the SCRA who would not be reported as on Active Duty under this certificate.
Many times orders are amended to extend the period of active duty, which would extend SCRA
protections. Persons seeking to rely on this website certification should check to make sure the orders on
which SCRA protections are based have not been amended to extend the inclusive dates of service.
Furthermore, some protections of the SCRA may extend to persons who have received orders to report
for active duty or to be inducted, but who have not actually begun active duty or actually reported for
induction. The Last Date on Active Duty entry is important because a number of protections of SCRA
extend beyond the last dates of active duty.
Those who would rely on this certificate are urged to seek qualified legal counsel to ensure that all rights
guaranteed to Service members under the SCRA are protected.
WARNING: This certificate was provided based on a name and SSN provided by the requester.
Providing an erroneous name or SSN will cause an erroneous certificate to be provided.
