and
The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) is an organization of the Department of Defense (DoD) that maintains the Defense Enrollment and
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 Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 USC App. § 501 et seq, as amended) (SCRA) (formerly kno% in as
the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940). DMDC has issued hundreds of thousands of 'does not possess any information Indicating that t
individual is currently on active duty" responses, and has experienced only a small error rate. In the event the individual referenced above, or any fa ily
member, friend, or representative asserts in any manner that the individual was on active duty for the active duty status date, 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'i Service via the
"defenselink.mil" URL: httpJ/www.defenseRnILmiVfagtpis/PC09SLDR.htrnl. If you have evidence the person was on active duty for the active duty st his
date 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).
This response reflects the following information: (1) The individual's Active Duty status on the Active Duty Status Date (2) Whethsrlthe individual le Active
Duty status within 367 days preceding the Active Duty Status Date (3) Whether the individual or his/her unit received early notification to report for 've
duty on the Active Duty Status Date.
More information on "Active Duty Status"
Active duty status as reported in this certificate is defined in accordance with 10 USC § 101(d) (1). Prior to 2010 only some of the" duty period less
than 30 consecutive days in length were available. In the case of a member of the National Guard, this includes service under a Call to active servic
authorized by the President or the Secretary of Defense under 32 USC § 502(f) for purposes of responding to a national emergency declared by the
President and supported by Federal funds. All Active Guam Reserve (AGR) members must be assigned against an authorized mobilization. position in the
unit they support. This includes Navy Training and Administration of the Reserves (TARS), Marine Corps Active Reserve (ARs) and Coast Guard
Program Administrator (RPAs). Active Duty status also applies to a Uniformed Service member who is an active duty commissioned officer of the
Public Health Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAH Commissioned Corps).
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 S0A who would of be
reported as on Active Duty under this certificate. SCRA protections are for Tide 10 and Title 14 active duty records for all the Unif" Services 'ods.
Tide 32 periods of Active Duty are not covered by SCRA, as defined in accordance with 10 USC § 101(d)(1).
Many times orders are amended to extend the period of active duty, which would extend SCRA protections. Persons seeking to rel on "a websits
certification should check to make sure the orders on which SCRA protections are based have not been amended to extend the ' dates of service.
Furthemwre, some protections of the SCRA may extend to persons who have received orders to report for active duty or to be incli. , but who ha a not
actually begun active duty or actually reported for induction. The Last Date on Active Duty entry is important because a number of tections of the SCRA
extend beyond one last dates of active duty.
Those who could rely on this certificate are urged to seek qualified legal counsel to ensure that all rights guaranteed to Service merntiers under the RA
are protected
WARNING: This certificate was provided based on a last name, SSN, and active duty status date provided by the requester. Providing erroneous
information will cause an erroneous certificate to be provided.
