RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-03454
INDEX CODE: 128.14
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reimbursed for premiums paid on his Servicemember’s Group Life
Insurance (SGLI).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He didn’t have SGLI from the beginning of when it was raised to $250,000
coverage. When he returned from being deployed, he noticed the insurance
deductions on his leave and earnings statements (LES); however, he thought
that the error would correct itself. After a year of deductions were made,
he took steps to stop the deductions and seek reimbursement of previous
deductions.
In support of his request, the applicant provided a copy of his
Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance Election and Certificate, dated 9 July
1999; AFPC/DPW letter, dated 19 November 2002; and several copies of his
leave and earning statements before and after SGLI deductions. The
applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of staff
sergeant (E-5). His Total Active Federal Military Service Date is 30 June
1999.
On 9 July 1999, the applicant declined SGLI coverage on SGLV 8286, SGLI
Election and Certificate.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPW recommends the application be denied. On 30 October 2002,
AFPC/DPW notified the applicant that they were unable to process his
application without additional documentation. DPW requested a copy of his
SGLI certificate declining coverage, TDY orders, and any other pertinent
documentation to support his claim. The applicant did not respond;
therefore, DPW states that the applicant did not provide the additional
information needed to sufficiently evaluate his claim. The DPW 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 7
February 2003 for review and response (Exhibit C). 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. Since the applicant did not provide the additional information
requested in order to sufficiently evaluate his claim, it is our opinion
that no basis exists to reimburse the premiums withheld. Therefore, the
applicant’s request is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
