RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-03849
INDEX CODE: 100.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reimbursed the Family Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance
(FSGLI) premiums deducted from his pay.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
While he and his military spouse were stationed at Izmir Turkey,
their servicing military personnel flight (MPF) was at Incirlik AB
Turkey. Any transactions had to be faxed or mailed to them, often
times getting lost by the command support staff or at the air base.
When they were reassigned to Eielson AFB and received their Nov 02
paychecks, they realized that they had outstanding debts for the
FSGLI which they immediately cancelled. They were told by the MPF
that the debt would remain outstanding due to the debt being back
dated to Nov 01. They are 110% certain they had not heard about
declining the FSGLI, nor did they ever want the coverage.
In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a personal statement.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 5 June 2001, Public Law 107-14, Survivor Benefits Improvement
Act of 2001, established an expanded SGLI program to provide spouse
and/or children coverage in the event of their death. The
coverage, by law, was automatic for all members of the Armed Forces
who had a spouse and/or children, unless the member declined
coverage.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPW reviewed this application and recommended denial. In
their view, the evidence provided by the applicant was insufficient
to support his claim. On 3 Jan 03, additional documentation was
requested, but the applicant did not respond.
A complete copy of the evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit
C.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 7 Mar 03 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
___________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice of
the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the
case; however, we note that he has not responded to AFPC/DPW’s
request for additional information in order that his request could
be processed. Should the applicant provide the requested
additional documentation, we would be willing to reconsider his
petition. Absent such evidence, we agree with the recommendation
of the Air Force and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for
our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden
that he has suffered either an error or an injustice. Therefore,
based on the available evidence of record, 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.
