                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  98-03113
            INDEX CODE:  137

            COUNSEL:  None

            HEARING DESIRED:  No

Applicant requests corrective action to show he filed an election  for
former spouse coverage under the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP)  when  he
retired.  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 based on  the  documentation  submitted  (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, we note that he is eligible to  establish  survivor  coverage
under the current open enrollment period authorized by Public Law 105-
261, which began  on  1 March  1999  and  ends  on  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, Mr. Mike Novel, and Ms.
Kathy L. Boockholdt considered this application on 1 December 1999  in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction  36-2603,  and
the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
