RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 98-00172
INDEX NUMBER: 137.01
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests that his records be corrected to reflect he made a
timely election for spouse coverage under the Survivor Benefit Plan
(SBP) following his marriage on 10 July 1993. Applicant's submission
is at Exhibit A.
The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and
provided an 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). Applicant's response
to the advisory opinion is at Exhibit E.
On 11 January 1999, the AFBCMR requested that the applicant provide
verification of his marital status at the time of his 1 March 1983
retirement (Exhibit F). As of this date, the applicant has not
provided the requested information.
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 adequately 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) 105-261 (effective 17 Oct 98) provides an
opportunity for retirees to enroll in the Survivor Benefit Plan
program during a one-year open enrollment period beginning 1 March
1999 through 29 February 2000. Further information may be obtained by
contacting the Retiree Services Branch at the Air Force Personnel
Center. Their telephone number is 1-800-531-7502 or (210) 565-2273.
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, Mrs. Barbara A. Westgate, Ms. Ann L. Heidig, and
Mr. Mike Novel, considered this application on 25 May 1999, in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and
the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.
