IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 20 December 2011
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110012975
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 correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show his social security number (SSN) as XX3-XX-XXXX instead of XX8-XX-XXXX.
2. The applicant makes no statement.
3. The applicant provides copies of his social security card and DD Form 214.
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 applicants 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 applicants failure to timely file. In all other respects, there are insufficient bases to waive the statute of limitations for timely filing.
2. A review of his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) reveals he was inducted, served, and was discharged using SSN XX8-XX-XXXX, the number he states is incorrect.
3. The applicant has provided a copy of his social security card showing his SSN as XX3-XX-XXXX. There is no evidence that he used this SSN when he served in an active duty status.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant contends that his DD Form 214 should be corrected to show SSN XX3-XX-XXXX.
2. The evidence of record clearly shows the applicant used SSN XX8-XX-XXXX throughout his period of military service. There is no evidence that he used the SSN that he now uses.
3. The Army has an interest in maintaining the integrity 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.
4. The applicant is advised that a copy of this decisional document will be filed in his OMPF. This should serve to clarify any questions or confusion regarding the different SSN's and satisfy his desire to have his current SSN documented in his record.
5. In view of the above, the applicants request should be denied.
