RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET
NUMBER: 97-03375
INDEX CODE : 137.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests termination of his coverage under the Survivor Benefit
Plan (SBP). Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.
The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and provided
tan advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application be denied
(Exhibit C). The advisory opinion was forwarded to the applicant for
review and response (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been
received by this office.
After careful consideration of applicant's request and the available
evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to
warrant corrective action. The facts and opinions stated in the advisory
opinion appear to be based on the evidence of record and have not been
rebutted by applicant. Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied
rights to which entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or
appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to disturb the
existing record. Accordingly, applicant's request is denied.
However, Public Law (PL) 105-85 (effective 17 May 1998) provides an
opportunity for retirees to terminate participation in the SBP beginning on
the second anniversary of their receipt of retired pay- For further
information, applicant should contact the Retiree Services Branch
(AFPC/DPPTR) at 1-800-531-7502.
The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision.
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and will only
be reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant evidence which was
not reasonably available at the time the application was filed.
Members of the Board, Mr. Henry C. Saunders, Mrs. Barbara A. Westgate, and
Mr. David C. VanGasbeck considered this application on 16 July 1998, in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and the
governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

He has insurance coverage. A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C. - APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 14 July 1997 for review and comment within 30 days. In fact, the available evidence clearly indicates that the applicant was counseled regarding the costs of participating in the SBP and he did elect to participate.
When a member fails to complete an SBP election prior to retirement, coverage is established for all eligible beneficiaries by operation of law. Title 10 USC Section 1448 (a) (3) requires that the spouse of a married member must concur in any election that provides less than full spouse SBP coverage. The statement from the member's husband concurring in her election to decline coverage is inappropriate in that he does not clearly acknowledge retired pay ceases when the member dies, that he...
