Banks must cap interest on all debts for service members. Military families also get better financial training.
This bill aims to improve financial training for military members and their families. It would specifically teach them about protections like interest rate limits on loans. The bill also requires banks to automatically apply these limits to all debts a servicemember has with them, not just those specifically mentioned. This helps servicemembers fully use their financial protections.
Today, financial literacy training for servicemembers doesn't always explicitly cover SCRA interest rate limits, and benefit notifications lack specific timings. Creditors generally apply interest rate limits only to debts specifically mentioned by a servicemember. After this bill, military training would specifically include SCRA financial protections, and servicemembers would receive benefit notifications at specific times, such as when first joining or when reservists are called to active duty for more than 30 days. Creditors would have to apply interest rate limits to all debts a servicemember has with them and offer convenient ways to submit documents.
