HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________

She be reimbursed in the amount of $108.00 for premiums paid on her Family
Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance (FSGLI).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her husband was active duty when she was being charged for FSGLI. He
became her dependent when he separated on 24 September 2003.
Applicant submits no supporting documentation. Applicant’s submission is
at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of master
sergeant (E-7), with an effective date and date of rank of 1 July 2003.
Public Law 107-14, Veterans’ Survivor Benefits Improvement Act of 2001 was
passed on 5 June 2001 and approved by the President. The law expanded the
Servicemen’s Group Life Insurance (SGLI) program to establish coverage for
spouses and children in the event of their death. The coverage, by law,
was automatic for all members of the Armed Forces who had a spouse or
child(ren), unless the member declined coverage.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPW recommends the application be denied. DPW states that, on 25
April 2003, the applicant was notified that they were unable to process her
request without additional documentation. DPW requested the applicant
provide a copy of her SGLV 8286A, Family Coverage Election Certificate,
declining coverage and any documentation to support her claim. Applicant
did not respond or provide the additional information needed to
sufficiently evaluate her claim. The DPW evaluation, with attachment, 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 27
June 2003 for review and response. As of this date, this office has
received no response (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 note that the applicant has not
responded to HQ AFPC/DPW’s request for additional information in order to
sufficiently evaluate her claim. Absent such evidence, 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.
