AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00462
INDEX CODE: 128.14
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be reimbursed for overpayment of her Servicemember’s Group Life
Insurance (SGLI) premiums she paid for the period 1 September 2001 through
1 January 2002.
_________________________________________________________________
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 is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the
letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPS recommends the application be denied. DPS states that the
commander did not approve the applicant’s request for reassignment and that
the applicant has not attended a drill since she submitted her request.
DPS states that because of “Stop Loss” she is still attached to the 482nd
Medical Squadron at Homstead Air Reserve Station, FL and there is no reason
to assume that SGLI would be automatically cancelled
The DPS evaluation is attached at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 12
April 2002 for review and response. As of this date, this office has
received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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. The applicant was properly charged with a
debt as a result of the passage of Public Law 106-419, Section 312,
effective 1 April 2001, which automatically increased the level of SGLI
coverage. We 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 do not 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.

She filed another declination form effective 15 January 2003. She finds it incredible that anyone, including the government, would take out a life insurance policy on her and her family without her knowledge or consent and then expect her to pay the expense. The ARPC website also had information about the change, with instructions regarding what to do if the member wanted to decrease coverage or wished to decline.
AF | BCMR | CY2004 | BC-2003-02607
In support of her application, the applicant provided a personal statement. Since the applicant declined coverage effective 31 May 2003, and coverage was terminated, it is our opinion that no basis exists to reimburse the premiums withheld for the preceding months. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the...
