                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  98-02042
            INDEX NUMBER:  137.04

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

Applicant requests that he be allowed to add his current spouse to his
suspended child only 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 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.

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.



                                    BARBARA A. WESTGATE
