RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01627
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her debt in the amount of $8,079.75 be recomputed.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Defense Accounting and Finance Service (DFAS) improperly
computed her debt. She received a letter of indebtedness from
DFAS which states that she was in a No Pay Status on 30 August
2013. She was on active duty orders through 30 August 2013. In
addition, the letter states that she received a lump sum payment
of $3,865.46 for unused leave which she did not receive. Her
calendar year 2013 Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, is
incorrect in that it does not match any of her Leave and
Earnings Statements (LES).
In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty; Special Orders, LES, Debt letter and various other
documents related to her request.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
In a letter dated 26 February 2014, DFAS advised the applicant
that her debt in the amount of $8,079.75 resulted after she
entered a No Pay Status on 30 August 2013.
According to DFAS Debt Computation Details, included in the
aforementioned letter, the applicants debt in the amount of
$8,079.75 was computed as follows:
Item
Total Amount
Total Entitlements
(Includes a lump sum leave payment of
$3,865.46 for 13.5 days of leave)
$15,454.96
Less Total Deductions
-$12,182.38
Less Total Payments
-$11,352.33
Total Owed (In debt)
($8,079.75)
The applicants DD Form 214 reflects her separation date as
30 August 2013.
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/FMFF recommends denial. DFAS again reviewed the separation
calculations as they pertain to the applicant and determined
there were no errors in the original calculations. While the
applicant states she never received a payment for 13.5 days of
leave, according to her LES dated January 2014, she received a
lump sum leave payment in the amount of $3865.46. The leave
payment was applied to her September 2013 through December
2013 overpayment debt.
The complete FMFF evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 25 August 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within
30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this
office (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 the
rationale expressed as the basis for our conclusion 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.

Congress has provided compensation (no more than 60 days in a military career) for Soldiers who were not able to use their leave because military requirements prevented it. While it is not readily apparent, based on the available evidence, where the applicant lost the 11.5 days of leave she claims, the information obtained from DFAS indicates that she was paid for 15.5 days of leave that she was not authorized to be paid. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to dispute the information...

THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant states, in effect, that upon her return from deployment she completed the Reverse Soldier Readiness Process (RSRP) on 23 July 2013 to include finance in order to stop her combat pay entitlements.
