WASHINGTON, D.C. – Chief
Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) and U.S. Representative Max Miller
(R-OH) introduced H.R. 8445, which would extend the benefits of the
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) and Uniformed Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) to American citizens serving in
the Israel Defense Forces.
“Over 20,000 American citizens are currently defending Israel from
Hamas terrorists, risking their lives for the betterment of our ally,” said Reschenthaler. “This
legislation will ensure we do everything possible to support these
heroes who are standing with Israel, fighting for freedom, and combating
terrorism in the Middle East.”
“As our closest ally in the Middle East continues to defend itself
against terror, many brave Americans have decided to lend a hand,” said Miller.
“I’m proud that this legislation extends important protections to those
Americans who chose to risk their lives in the fight against terror.”
The SCRA provides members on active-duty status with financial
management safeguards such as rental agreements, security deposits,
evictions, installment contracts, credit card interest rates, mortgages,
civil judicial proceedings, and income tax payments, among others.
The USERRA prohibits employment discrimination based on an
individual’s prior service in the uniformed services, current service in
the uniformed services, or intent to join the uniformed services. Read the full bill here.
