RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03791
INDEX CODE: 100.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her social security number (SSN) be corrected on her military
records.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When she joined the military at age 19, her mother gave her a
social security card. She was born in San Francisco,
California, but had lived in Oklahoma at one time as a child.
In 1992, she lost her social security card and requested a copy
from the Social Security Administration (SSA). However, the SSA
informed her they never had a card with the SSN she had been
using and provided her with the correct SSN.
She did not think about correcting her records or know she had
to, until she attempted to use her Veterans Administration (VA)
Home Loan benefit.
Her husband is a veteran as well. She is listed as his
dependent and it was her understanding that this information was
updated in the military system.
In support of her request, the applicant provided a copy of her
drivers license and social security card.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 23 Apr 85 and was
honorably discharged on 30 Dec 88. She is credited with 3
years, 8 months, and 8 days of active service.
Other relevant facts are outlined in the AFPC/DPSS evaluation
which is at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSS recommends denial. DPSS states the SSN recorded in
the applicants service record is the one she enlisted, served,
and was discharged with. She has no continued affiliation with
the Air Force as a retiree or Reservist. Air Force Instruction
36-2608, Military Personnel Records System, Table A7, allows the
Air Force to make changes on prior service personnel if the data
in question was recorded in error. This is not the case as the
SSN recorded was the same SSN presented for enlistment.
The complete AFPC/DPSS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
She states that if the Board does not correct her records, an
acknowledgement of both SSNs in an addendum or attachment to
her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, should be made just like the SSA did, and state that the
SSA has validated the correct SSN.
The applicant's complete response, with attachments, is at
Exhibit E.
________________________________________________________________
_
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 Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Additionally, the
letter the applicant received from the Social Security
Administration provides a source of verification of her two
social security numbers and can be used if questions are raised
concerning her DD Form 214. 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.
