RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-03984
INDEX CODE: 128.14
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be reimbursed in the amount of $99.00 for premiums paid on her Family
Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance (FSGLI).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was not notified on 1 November 2001 that there was a change. If she
had known of the change and that it affected her and her spouse, she would
have declined coverage.
In support of her application, the applicant submits a copy of her Family
Coverage Election form, dated 4 October 2002; and a copy of her leave and
earnings statement, dated 1-30 November 2002. The applicant’s submission
is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the rank of staff
sergeant (E-5). Her Total Active Federal Military Service Date is 1
October 1997.
On 4 October 2002, the applicant declined FSGLI coverage on SGLV 8286A,
Family Coverage Election.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPW recommends the application be denied. On 16 January 2003,
AFPC/DPW notified the applicant that they were unable to process her
application without additional documentation. DPW requested a copy of her
leave and earnings statement for the period of the alleged error and any
documentation to support her claim. The applicant did not respond;
therefore, DPW indicates the applicant has not provided the information
needed to sufficiently evaluate her 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 20
March 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 her 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.
