The Washington Declaration Re: Service Members Civil Relief Act (AFSCA) is a legal document designed to provide protection to members of the military and their families when they are called to active duty. It establishes a series of rights and privileges for service members and their families, including protections from eviction, foreclosure, repossession, and more. It also prohibits creditors from taking legal action against service members for debts incurred prior to their active duty service, and extends the amount of time for service members to pay their debts. The Washington Declaration Re: Service Members Civil Relief Act (AFSCA) was issued in response to the need for additional protections for service members and their families during times of active duty and is designed to give them the financial support and stability they need. There are two types of Washington Declaration Re: Service Members Civil Relief Act (AFSCA): the original version, which was signed into law in 2003, and the revised version, which was signed into law in 2016.
