RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-00116
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be reimbursed for premiums deducted from her pay for Family
Servicemen’s Group Life Insurance (SGLI).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Active duty military with an active duty spouse should not be billed
for the Family Serviceman’s Group Life Insurance (FSGLI) (spousal
coverage). This did not happen to all active duty military couples
but just some of them--a definite inequality in the system. Request
correction of what needs corrected be to receive reimbursement of
169.00.
In support of her application, she submits copies of emails and a copy
of her leave and earning statement (LES).
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the Air Force in
the grade of master sergeant.
Applicant paid FSGLI premiums from 1 Nov 01 to December 2002. She
withdrew from FSGLI on 31 December 2002.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPW recommended denial due to lack of sufficient evidence to
support the claim. On 26 December 2002, they requested additional
information from the applicant. As of this date, no response has been
received from the applicant.
AFPC/DPW complete evaluation is attached at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 25 April 2003, for review and comment. 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
she paid from November 2001 to December 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 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.
