APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his military records be changed to show his correct social security number (SSN).
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that the SSN listed on his Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) is incorrect and the Social Security Administration issued the same SSN recorded on his DD Form 214 to more than one individual. In support of his application, he submits copies of documents pertaining to his SSN and two DD Forms 214.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
On 30 June 1995, he was honorably released from active duty (REFRAD) after completing a total of 17 years, 6 months, and 28 days of active military service. He was separated under the provisions of chapter 12, Army Regulation 635-200, by reason of voluntary early retirement.
The Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214), dated 30 June 1995, issued to and signed by the applicant on the date of his separation, confirms that at the time of his separation he held the rank of staff sergeant (SSG) and that he was serving in military occupational specialty (MOS) 94B (Food Service Specialist).
The SSN recorded in the applicant’s enlistment contract, service record created upon his enlistment, and in the records and documents prepared and published throughout his active duty service is consistent with the one recorded in his separation documents.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:
1. The applicant provides no evidence that suggests the SSN recorded in his military records was in error at the time. Further, he offers no explanation from the Social Security Administration as to when and why his SSN was changed subsequent to his discharge and is different from the SSN recorded in his military records.
2. The Army has an interest in maintaining the accuracy of its records. The data and information contained in those records should reflect the conditions and circumstances that existed at the time the records were created. In this case, the applicant acknowledged that his SSN was correct throughout his enlistment and during the separation process. Consequently, the Board finds no error in the existing military records.
3. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
NOTE: A copy of this decisional document with its enclosures, including the copy of the applicant’s current Social Security Card reflecting his current SSN will be filed in the applicant’s military record. The filing of this document along with the fact the Social Security Administration has officially assigned the applicant a different SSN, which he is currently using, should satisfy any need for clarity in regard to this issue.
