                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: 01-03535

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She be reimbursed  for  the  Servicemember’s  Group  Life  Insurance  (SGLI)
premiums paid during April through September 2001.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or unjust  and
the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts  pertaining  to  this  application,  extracted  from  the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter  prepared  by  the
appropriate office of the Air Force (Exhibit C).

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPW recommends the application be denied due to a  lack  of  sufficient
evidence to support the claim.

The AFPC/DPW evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant reviewed the Air Force  evaluation  and  provided  a  response
which is attached at Exhibit E.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.    The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing  law  or
regulations.
2.    The application was timely filed.

3.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to  demonstrate  the
existence  of  error  or  injustice.   Public  Law  106-419,  Section   312,
effective 1 April 2001, automatically increased the level of  SGLI  coverage
to $250,000 for all eligible  military  members,  regardless  of  any  prior
election.  Members who  had  elected  no  coverage  or  less  than  $250,000
coverage prior to 1 April 2001, could avoid  the  higher  premiums  provided
they completed a new election form in April  2001.   No  evidence  has  been
submitted showing that the applicant declined coverage during the  month  of
April 2001.  We therefore agree with the opinion and recommendation  of  the
Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as  the
basis for our conclusion that no basis  exists  to  reimburse  the  premiums
withheld.  Therefore, we find no basis  to  recommend  granting  the  relief
sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented  did  not  demonstrate
the existence of material error  or  injustice;  that  the  application  was
denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only  be
reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant  evidence  not
considered with this application.

    The applicant's request to be reimbursed for his SGLI premiums was considered and denied by the Board on 15 April 2003. Lackland AFB notified its servicemembers of the pending change to SGLI coverage by using the base bulletins, newspapers, and the April 2001 pay statements. It would appear that he was notified of the SGLI increase and we find no evidence to support his miscounseling contention.
