Course Duration: 2 HR

What You'll Learn

This live webinar equips compliance, lending, and operations professionals with the clarity needed to properly apply the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) and the Military Lending Act (MLA)—two laws that protect servicemembers but are frequently misunderstood and misapplied. Attendees will untangle eligibility, timing, and coverage differences, uncover lesser-known “sleeper” provisions, and learn how to correctly handle real-world scenarios involving rate relief, default actions, and MAPR calculations. By clearly understanding what each law requires—and what it does not—participants gain the confidence to execute regulatory obligations accurately, avoid violations, and ensure servicemembers receive the protections they are entitled to under the law.
