RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02346 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED 

 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

He be allowed to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to his 
dependent. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He enrolled both of his sons in the Post 9/11 GI Bill Transfer 
Eligibility Benefit (TEB) program. He requested 24 months for 
his oldest son and 12 months for his youngest son. His oldest 
son has received the benefits; however, he was informed by the 
Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) that his youngest son is not 
authorized the benefit. He does not know why his youngest son’s 
enrollment did not go through. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his DD 
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. 

 

The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 30 Sep 10, the applicant was released from active duty service 
for voluntary retirement – maximum service or time in grade. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, 
extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained in 
the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at 
Exhibit B. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ USAF/A1PA recommends denial. A1PA states the applicant did 
not submit documentation to support his assertion that he 
submitted a request to transfer Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to 
his younger son prior to his retirement on 1 Oct 10. 


A1PA states a review of the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) 
TEB website reflects the applicant’s 24-month transfer to his 
oldest son and there is no evidence of a second transfer request. 

 

A1PA notes the applicant had the opportunity and time to ensure 
the transfer of benefits had actually consummated before he 
retired on 1 Oct 10. 

 

The complete A1PA evaluation is at Exhibit B. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 29 Jul 11, for review and comment within 30 days. 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 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. Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 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.

    However, the Board could find that there was an injustice if the members were on active duty on 1 Aug 09, were not personally counseled about the need to execute a transfer while serving in the Armed Forces, and did not have ready access to DoD and Air Force guidance because of their terminal leave status. The transfer date could be effective as early as 1 Aug 09 and there would be no need to place the member on active duty since the TEB system allows for correction of the record by Air...
