Servicemen Get Debt Protection Under 1940 Law
James Marlow explains the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940 protects service members from wage and property losses due to civilian debt. It allows court relief lowering payments during service, guarantees on insurance, and protection for rental housing. Guidance is offered to seek aid from legal assistance officers, judge advocates, or local legal aid if faced with debt issues while in or returning from service.
