SCRA and MLA databases

Answered by:

Question:

It seems that the MLA DMDC database is more complete than the SCRA DMDC database. For SCRA purposes, can we use the MLA DMDC for SCRA purposes?

Answer:

While the MLA database contains servicemember plus dependent information, it should mirror the SCRA database as far as the servicemember goes, in theory. I corresponded with the DMDC, the keeper of these databases, and they recommend that each be used for its own specific purposes and that the MLA never be used in place of the SCRA file.
