MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  11 OCTOBER 2006


___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be allowed to terminate  his  spouse  only  coverage  under  the
Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) retroactive to the date  of  his  Civil
Service (CS) retirement (24 May 1973).

___________________________________________________________________

RESUME OF CASE:

On 27 Oct 05, the  Board  considered  and  denied  the  applicant’s
request to correct his records to allow him to terminate his spouse
only coverage under the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) retroactive  to
the date of his Civil Service (CS) retirement (24 May  1973).   The
Board further noted if the applicant’s current  spouse  provided  a
notarized statement concurring in the permanent revocation  of  her
SBP  coverage  currently  in  effect,  they  would  be  willing  to
reconsider the applicant’s request.  For an accounting of the facts
and circumstances surrounding the application, and the rationale of
the earlier decision by the Board, see the  Record  of  Proceedings
(ROP) at Exhibit E.

Applicant provided a notarized statement from  his  current  spouse
relinquishing her entitlement to the SBP annuity (Exhibit F).

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After careful consideration of the applicant’s  recent  submission,
specifically a notarized statement from his wife concurring in  the
permanent revocation of her Survivor Benefit  Plan  (SBP)  coverage
currently in effect, we agree with the Air Force office of  primary
responsibility and conclude that applicant should  receive  partial
relief.  Therefore, we recommend that the  applicant’s  records  be
corrected as indicated below.

___________________________________________________________________


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 1 June 1998, he
elected to disenroll from the Survivor Benefit  Plan  (SBP),  under
the provisions of Public Law 105-85.

                           AFBCMR CUSTOMER SURVEY


      We wish to improve upon our customer service and we need your help.
We are sending a copy of this letter and the attached survey to each
applicant upon completion of his or her case -- whether the case was
granted or denied -- in an effort to receive feedback concerning our short-
comings and our strong points.  Since we are not a part of the decision-
making process, this survey should not be used to debate the merits of the
decision of the AFBCMR in your case.  We merely want to know what changes,
if any, that we can implement administratively to provide a more timely
response and a better product within the constraints of our limited
manpower.

      Please take a few minutes and circle the answer which best describes
your views of our administrative handling of your case and mail your
response to:
