IN THE CASE OF:	

		BOARD DATE:	 5 May 2015 

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20140016521 


THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:

1.  Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).

2.  Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).


THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show his social security number (SSN) as XXX-XX-XX4X instead of XXX-XX-XX8X.

2.  The applicant states his SSN is XXX-XX-XX4X.

3.  The applicant provides his DD Form 214.

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  Title 10, U.S. Code, section 1552(b), provides that applications for correction of military records must be filed within 3 years after discovery of the alleged error or injustice.  This provision of law also allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse an applicant's failure to timely file within the 3-year statute of limitations if the ABCMR determines it would be in the interest of justice to do so.  While it appears the applicant did not file within the time frame provided in the statute of limitations, the ABCMR has elected to conduct a substantive review of this case and, only to the extent relief, if any, is granted, has determined it is in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant's failure to timely file.  In all other respects, there are insufficient bases to waive the statute of limitations for timely filing.

2.  The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 12 September 1958 for 3 years.  On 26 June 1961, he was honorably released from active duty.

3.  Item 32 (Remarks) of his DD Form 214 shows his SSN as XXX-XX-XX8X.

4.  His DA Form 24 (Service Record) covering the period 12 September 1958 to 26 June 1961 shows his SSN as XXX-XX-XX4X.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

The applicant's DA Form 24 shows he recorded his SSN as XXX-XX-XX4X in 1958.  Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 accordingly.

BOARD VOTE:

____X____  ___X_____  ___X_____  GRANT FULL RELIEF 

________  ________  ________  GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF 

________  ________  ________  GRANT FORMAL HEARING

________  ________  ________  DENY APPLICATION

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

The Board determined the evidence presented is sufficient to warrant a recommendation for relief.  As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by deleting the current SSN entry in item 32 of his DD Form 214 and replacing it with the SSN as shown on his DA Form 24.
