RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-03034
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reimbursed for Family Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance (FSGLI)
premiums he paid for the period of 1 November 2001 through 30 September
2002.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was truly unsure of the $100,000-dollar life insurance policy on his
spouse. Due to the recent emails concerning this particular item, neither
his wife nor he wishes to add any more insurance to the family’s current
life insurance plan at this time. He was told by the Military Personnel
Flight (MPF) personnel to request full reimbursement through AFBCMR. He
sees no need to change his current policy of 250K. He wants to apologize
for any inconvenience this may caused.
In support of his request, applicant provided a personal statement.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant is currently serving on active duty in the Air Force in the grade
of technical sergeant.
Documents provided by AFPC indicate that on 1 November 2001, Family
Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance was implemented. Deductions for
coverage in the amount of $100,000 continued to be taken from his pay until
approximately September 2002.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPW, reviewed applicant’s request and states additional evidence was
requested from the member to sufficiently evaluate his claim. The
applicant has not responded. Due to the lack of sufficient evidence
provided by the applicant, denial of this request is recommended.
AFPC/DPW evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 3 January 2003, for review and response. As of this date, no response
has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded the
applicant should be reimbursed for the FSGLI premiums he paid from 1
November 2001 to 30 September 2002. Applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, we do not find these assertions, in and by themselves,
sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided by the office of
primary responsibility. We therefore agree with their recommendation and
adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden of having suffered either an
error or an injustice. In view of the above and absent persuasive evidence
to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the
relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of a 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.
