RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-00488
INDEX CODE: 128.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reimbursed for premiums deducted from his pay for Servicemen’s
Group Life Insurance (SGLI) for the months of April 2001 to January
2003.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His records clearly state “I do not want insurance at this time.” The
fact that SGLI coverage was increased in April 2001 is absolutely no
reason to initiate an SGLI policy in his name without notification and
especially without his consent.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a personal statement.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit
A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant’s is currently on active duty in the grade of second
lieutenant, with an effective date and date of rank of 20 December
2002.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPW recommends the application be denied due to lack of
sufficient evidence to support the applicant’s claim. On 7 March
2003, DPW sent the applicant a letter requesting additional
information in order for them to sufficiently evaluate his claim and
to make an appropriate recommendation. The applicant did not respond
to their letter. The HQ AFPC/DPW evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR STAFF EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 9
June 2003 for review and response. As of this date, no response has
been received by this office (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
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 agree with the opinion and recommendation of the
appropriate Air Force office of primary responsibility 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. In view of the above and absent evidence to the
contrary, we find no compelling 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.

___________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: SGLI premiums for the $250,000 coverage have been taken out since August 2000 until March 2003, while his records reflect $100,000 coverage since August 2000. It is their opinion that the applicant’s Air Force base leadership took adequate steps to inform all members of the increase in coverage and that the applicant had adequate time during the month of April 01 to make a new election and avoid the...

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.

It was never fixed up to present day and he has paid $420 into the SGLI, which he did not want.

They did not receive any response from the applicant..
