RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-04045
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reimbursed for premiums deducted from his pay for Family
Servicemen’s Group Life Insurance (FSGLI).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He requested to be repaid for paying for his military wife’s SGLI when
he did not know he was paying for this since November 2001. The total
indebtedness was $99.00 and then a monthly payment of $9.00 started in
October 2002. This matter of military members being automatically
signed up for paying for their spouse’s SGLI was not brought to his
attention until he saw his leave and earning statement (LES).
In support of his application, he submits a personal statement and a
copy of his (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 staff sergeant.
Applicant’s November LES shows a $99.00 debt and a $9.00 discretionary
allotment.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPW recommended denial due to lack of sufficient evidence to
support the claim. On 16 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 4 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 he
paid. 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. Applicant has failed to provide copies of
his LESs prior to November 2002, reflecting no FSGLI premiums were
deducted from his pay. 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.

Apparently, Mountain Home AFB had failed to enter a code in their records to show joint spouse and exemption from SGLI spouse coverage. There is no declination statement in the member’s record. No premiums were deducted from her pay until she arrived at Laughlin AFB in September 2002.
