member, friend, or representative asserts in any manner that the individual was on active duty for the active duty status date, or is atherwise entitled to the

More information on "Active Duty
Active duty status as reported in this certificate is defined in sccc-dâ-cs with 10 USC ? 101(d) (1). Prior to 2010 only some of the active duty periods 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 service
authorized by the President or the Secretary of Defense under 32 USC ? 502(f) for purpos.es of responding to a national emergency declared by the
President and euppeded 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 Training and Adm!n!etret!en of the Reserves (TARs), Marine Corps Active Reserve (ARs) and Coast Guard,Reserve
Program Administrator (RPAs). Active Duty status also applies to a Uniformed Service member who is an active duty commiccioned officer of the U.S.
Public Health Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA 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 SCRA who would not be
reported as on Active Duty under this certificate. SCRA pictscticas are for Title 10 and Title 14 active duty records for all the Uniformed Services periods.
Title 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 pretEt!éë Persons seeking to rely on this website
certification should check to make sure the orders on which SCRA protecticas are based have not been amended to extend the inclusive dates of service.
FurthGrmciG, 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 pictêcticas of the SCRA
extend beyond 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 güãrâGtâGdto Service members under the SCRA
are protected
WARNING: This certificate was provided based on a last name, SSN/date of birth, and active duty status date provided by the requester. Providing
erroneous information will cause an erroneous certificate to be provided.
