RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-00722 

 COUNSEL: 

 HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her deceased former spouse’s record be changed to show he elected 
former spouse coverage under the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 20 May 
2009. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances 
surrounding the applicant’s appeal and the rationale of the 
earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at 
Exhibit E. 

 

In a letter, with attachments, dated 13 May 2009, the applicant 
requests reconsideration. She states when the prenuptial 
agreement is compared to the divorce decree, the decree 
specifically spells out her entitlement to the survivor’s 
benefits rights. The Air Force is partly at fault because under 
the retiree account statement, they have continually listed her 
social security number, not his surviving spouse. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit F.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was 
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action. After 
thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted in 
support of this appeal and the evidence of record, we do not 
believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in the 
previous decision. Therefore, we do not find the additional 
evidence presented is sufficient to compel us to recommend 
granting the relief sought on that basis. In the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to 
recommend favorable consideration of the applicant’s request. 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

 


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
