Sorrento, Director Department of Defense - Manpower Data Center 400 Gigling Rd. Seaside, CA 93955 - The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) is an organizati on of the Department of Defense’(DoD) that maintains the Defense Enrollment and Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) database which is the official sou rce of data on eligibility ior military medical care and other el igibility systems: The DoD strongly supports the enforcement of the Servicerfiembe rs Civil Relief Act (50 USC App. § 3901 et seq, as amended) (SCRA) (forme rly known as the Soldiers‘ and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940). DMDC has issued hundreds of thousands of “does not possess any information indica ting that the individual is currently on active duty” responses, and has ex perienced oniy a small error rate. In the event the individu al referenced above, or any family member, fiiend, or representative asserts in any manner that the individual was on active duty forthe active duty status date, or is otherwise entitled to the protections of the SCRA, you are strongly encouraged to obtain f unher verification of the person's status by contacting tha t person‘s Service. ‘Service contact information can be found on the SCRA website‘s FAQ page (035) via this URL: httpszllscra.dmdc.dsd.mil/scra/#/taqs. If you have evide nce lhe person was on active duty for the active duty status date and you fail t0 obtain this additional Service verification. punitive p rovisions of the SCRA may be invoked against you. See 50 USC App. § 3921(0). ’ ' This response reflects the following information: (1) The individual's Active Duty status on the Active Duty Status Date (2) Whether the individual left Active Duty status within 367 days preceding the Active Duty Status Date (3) Whether the individual or his/her unit receiv ed early notification to report for'active duty on the Active Duty Status Date. More information on "Active Duty Status" Active duty status as reported in this cenificate is de fined in accordance with 1 0 USO § 101(d) (1). Prior to 2010 onfy some of the active duty periods less than 30 consecutive days in length were available. In th e case of a member of the National Guard, this includes service under a call to active service authorized by ihe President or the Secretary of Defense under 32 USC § 502(f) for purposes of responding to a national emergen cy declared by the President and supported by Federal funds. AII Active Guard Reserve (AGR) members must be assigned against an authorized m obilization position in the unit they support. This-includes Navy Training and Admini stration of the Reserves (TABS), Marine Corps Active Reser ve (ARs) and Coast Guard Reserve Program Administrator (RPAs). Active Duty status also appli es to a Uniformed Service member who is an active duty commissione d officer of the U.S. Pubiic Health Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospher ic Administration (NOAA Commissipned Corps). Coverage Under the SCRA is Broader in Some Cases Coverage under the SCRA is broader in some cases and includes some cate gories of persons on active duty for purposes of the SCRA who would not be r'eported as on Active Duty under this certificate. SCRA protections are for Title 1O and TItIe 14 active duty records for all the UniformedServices periods. Title 32 periods of Active Duty are not covered by SCRA, as defi ned in accordance with 10 USC § 101(d)(1). Many times orders are amended to extend the period of activ e duty, which would extend SCRA protections. Persons seeking to rely on this website certification should check to make sure the orders on which SCRA protection s are based have not been amended to emend the inclusive dates o f service. Furthermore, some protections of the SCRA may extend to persons who hav e received orders to report for active duty or to be inducted, b ut who have not actually begun active duty or actually reported for inductio n. The Last Date on Active Duty entry is important because a num ber of protections of the SCRA extend be9ond the 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 Servi ce members under the SCRA are protected WARNING: This certificate was provided based on a last name, SSN/d ate of birth, and active duty status date provided by the request er. Providing erroneous information will cause an erroneous certificate to b e provided.
