IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 2 February 2012
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110014885
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 correct social security number (SSN).
2. The applicant states that the SSN on his DD Form 214 is wrong.
3. The applicant provides copies of his:
* DD Form 214
* Social Security card showing a completely different SSN
* Certification of Birth
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 was inducted into the Army of the United States on
29 December 1965. At that time, Soldiers were issued military service numbers for identification purposes.
3. His available official military personnel file (OMPF) contains the following documents that reflect the same SSN as shown on his Social Security card:
* DA Form 3037 (U.S. Army Request for National Agency Check), dated
14 July 1966
* DA Form 41 (Record of Emergency Data), date illegible
4. He was honorably released from active duty on 12 December 1967 as an overseas returnee. Item 3 (SSN) of the DD Form 214 he was issued at the time shows a completely different SSN than the one shown on his Social Security card.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The only two documents contained in the applicant's OMPF with an SSN shows the SSN as reflected on the Social Security card he provided.
2. It appears the SSN on his DD Form 214 is incorrect as a result of an administrative error. Therefore, it would be appropriate at this time to correct his DD Form 214 to show the SSN as shown on his Social Security card.
BOARD VOTE:
___x____ ____x___ ____x___ GRANT FULL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT FORMAL HEARING
________ ________ ________ DENY APPLICATION
BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
The Board determined the evidence presented is sufficient to warrant a recommendation for relief. As a result, the Board recommends that all
Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by deleting from item 3 of his DD Form 214 the current entry and replacing it with the Social Security Number as shown on his Social Security card.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140008154
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. His DD Form 4 (Enlistment Contract- Armed Forces of the United States) shows an SSN that is different from the SSN listed on his social security card. Although the applicant requests correction of his records to show his SSN as it is shown...

ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110023639
His DD Form 214 shows his SSN as "XXX-XX-8810." However, the evidence of record shows the SSN of "XXX-XX-8810" was used when he enlisted in the Regular Army in 1987 and when he was discharged in 1988. _____________x____________ CHAIRPERSON I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in this case.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). He states the SSN shown on his DD Form 214 was actually his service number. Item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 shows his "SSN" beginning with the number "9."
ARMY | BCMR | CY2015 | 20150003109
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) and other military records to show his social security number (SSN) as "X1X-XX-XXXX" instead of "X3X-XX-XXXX." However, his DA Form 20 and his DD Form 214 were changed by pencil to show the same SSN shown on his DD Form 398 and his DA Form 41. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by amending...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140007538
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). Although he provides a copy of his social security card, the evidence of record shows, throughout his term of military service, his SSN consistently appeared as 432-XX-XXXX on almost every document in his available service personnel record. The applicant is advised that a copy of this decisional document will be filed in his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110021368
Lacking convincing independent and verifiable evidence to the contrary, it is presumed that the applicant's military service records, including his DD Form 214, were correct at the time and there is insufficient evidence to grant him relief in this case. This should serve to clarify any questions or confusion in regard to the different SSN recorded in his military record and to satisfy his desire to have his SSN as shown on his social security card documented in his record. ...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140005635
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show his social security number (SSN) as XXX-XX-3601 instead of XXX-XX-7347. His DD Form 4 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document) shows the SSN as xxx-xx-7347. The evidence of record shows he listed his SSN as xxx-xx-7347 throughout his entire military service.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140015177
IN THE CASE OF: BOARD DATE: 16 April 2015 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140015177 THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE: 1. A review of his official military personnel file (OMPF) does not show the source document used by the Army to determine the accuracy of his SSN as shown on his discharge notification. A Standard Form 180 (Request Pertaining To Military Records), dated 9 April 1976, contained in his OMPF shows his SSN as "XX5-XX-XXXX."
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100012621
