		IN THE CASE OF:	  

		BOARD DATE:	       28 April 2009

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20080019833 


THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:

1.  Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).

2.  Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).


THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant requests that his Social Security Number (SSN) be corrected in item 3 (Social Security Number) on his DD Form 214 (Report of Transfer or Discharge).

2.  The applicant states that the wrong SSN is on his DD Form 214 and that his SSN is 0xx-3x-6xxx.

3.  The applicant provides a letter, dated 26 November 2008, from the Social Security Administration and a copy of his DD Form 214 in support of his application.

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  Title 10, U.S. Code, section 1552(b), provides that applications for correction of military records must be filed within 3 years after discovery of the alleged error or injustice.  This provision of law also allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse an applicant’s failure to timely file within the 3-year statute of limitations if the ABCMR determines it would be in the interest of justice to do so.  While it appears the applicant did not file within the time frame provided in the statute of limitations, the ABCMR has elected to conduct a substantive review of this case and, only to the extent relief, if any, is granted, has determined it is in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant’s failure to timely file.  In all other respects, there are insufficient bases to waive the statute of limitations for timely filing.

2.  The applicant’s DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History), dated 
19 September 1966, shows SSN 0xx-3x-6xxx.  He was inducted on 
20 September 1966 and served as a field wireman.  On 19 September 1968, he was released from active duty and transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR).  

3.  Item 3 on the applicant’s DD Form 214 shows SSN 1xx-4x-8xxx. 

4.  The applicant was honorably discharged from the USAR on 19 September 1972.

5.  The majority of the applicant’s service personnel records contain a service number.  However, his DA Form 41 (Record of Emergency Data), dated 10 April 1967; his DA Form 873 (Certificate of Clearance and/or Security Determination), dated 16 September 1967; and his discharge orders from the USAR, dated 
19 September 1972, show SSN 0xx-3x-6xxx.    

6.  In support of his claim, the applicant provided a letter, dated 26 November 2008, from the Social Security Administration which shows his SSN is 0xx-3x-6xxx.  The letter also states that this SSN was issued in July 1963 and has not changed.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

Evidence of record shows the applicant's SSN is 0xx-3x-6xxx.  Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct item 3 on his DD Form 214. 

BOARD VOTE:

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

	a.  deleting the entry in item 3 on his DD Form 214; and
