Servicemember Relief: Cancel Telecom Contracts Amidst Stop Movement Orders.
New rules allow servicemembers to cancel phone, TV, and internet contracts if they receive a stop movement order after being assigned a permanent change of station. This helps them avoid paying for services they cannot use due to unforeseen circumstances. The changes apply retroactively to stop movement orders issued on or after March 1, 2020.
Key points
Servicemembers can cancel telecom service contracts (phone, TV, internet) if their relocation plans are halted by an emergency stop movement order.
This applies when a servicemember enters a contract after receiving permanent change of station orders, but then receives a stop movement order for at least 30 days or indefinitely.
The changes are retroactive to stop movement orders issued on or after March 1, 2020, potentially assisting many servicemembers already affected.
