MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION


         IN THE CASE OF:
        


         BOARD DATE: 19 September 2002
         DOCKET NUMBER: AR2002076046

         I certify that hereinafter is recorded the record of consideration of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.

Mr. Carl W. S. Chun Director
Mr. William Blakely Analyst


The following members, a quorum, were present:

Ms. JoAnn H. Langston Chairperson
Ms. Melinda M. Darby Member
Mr. Ronald E. Blakely Member

         The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date. In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

         The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

         The Board considered the following evidence:

         Exhibit A - Application for correction of military
records
         Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
         advisory opinion, if any)


APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his military records be changed to show his correct social security account number (SSAN).

APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that the SSAN shown in his retirement order is incorrect. In support of his application, he submits a Xeroxed copy of his health insurance card, military identification card, and retirement orders.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:

On 31 March 1969, he was honorably released from active duty (REFRAD), for the purpose of retirement, after completing 23 years and 17 days of active military service.

A review of the applicant’s Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) shows that the service number was used as the primary identification number at the time he entered active duty.

The separation document (DD Form 214) issued to and authenticated by the applicant on the date of his separation from the Army lists a SSAN in addition to his service number. The SSAN entered on the applicant’s separation document is consistent with the one entered in the record created on him upon his entry on active duty, and in the orders and documents prepared and published on him throughout his tenure on active duty.

The applicant provided a Xeroxed copy of his health insurance card and military identification card that shows his current SSAN. However, he did not provide a statement from Social Security Administration officials explaining the difference between his current SSAN and the one under which he performed his military service.

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 Board notes the applicant’s contention that the SSAN recorded in his military records and in documents prepared and published throughout his active duty service is incorrect. However, it finds insufficient evidence that suggests the SSAN recorded in his military records was in error at the time he served.

2. Although the evidence provided by the applicant shows that the SSAN he now claims is correct differs from the one under which he performed his military service, he offers no explanation from Social Security Administration officials as to when and why his SSAN was changed or why it is now different from the one recorded in his military records.


3. 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 has provided no evidence to suggest that the SSAN listed in his records was in error while he was performing his military service, or that maintaining this SSAN in his records would cause him any injustice. Thus, the Board finds insufficient evidence to support granting the requested relief

4. 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.

    The DD Form 214 issued to the applicant on the date of his separation from the Army lists a SSN in addition to his service number. The listed SSN differs from the one recorded in the applicant’s social security card. The evidence of records confirms that his service number was recorded in the military documents prepared and published throughout his active duty service and that the only military record document that contains a SSN is the DD Form 214 issued to him upon his separation.
