RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-04280
INDEX CODE: 128.14
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reimbursed for two months premiums paid on his Family Servicemember’s
Group Life Insurance (FSGLI).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His wife is currently a member of the Guard and they decline FSGLI at this
time.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the rank of Staff
Sergeant (E-5). He is stationed at Fairchild AFB, Washington.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPW recommends the application be denied. On 7, 14, and 20 January
2004, they notified the applicant that they were unable to process his
application without additional documentation. The applicant did not
respond; therefore, DPW indicates the applicant has not provided the
information needed to sufficiently evaluate his 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 6
February 2004 for review and response. 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 AFPC/DPPRS in order to sufficiently evaluate his claim, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion
that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of 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.
