Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA): Interest Rate Limitation Request

The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) provides that those on active-duty military service are entitled to have an interest rate in excess of 6% be capped at 6% for the duration of their qualifying military service. The Department is requesting an extension of the currently approved information collection. These Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program and Direct Loan Program regulations have not changed. The regulations require a loan holder to match its database against the Department of Defense's Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) and automatically apply the interest rate limitation, as appropriate, to borrowers under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. The form in this collection would only be used in limited cases where the borrower is not found in the Defense Manpower Data Center, or does not have a copy of military orders, but still wishes to receive benefits under the SCRA.

The latest form for Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA): Interest Rate Limitation Request expires 2028-05-31 and is listed under ICR 202409-1845-006.
