IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 26 January 2012
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110015799
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 Social Security Number (SSN) on his DD Form 214 (Report of Transfer or Discharge).
2. The applicant states the last two digits in the SSN shown on his DD Form 214 are transposed.
3. The applicant provides a photocopy of his Social Security Card.
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. The applicant's enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve on 1 April 1962. His DA Form 4 (Enlistment Record) shows his SSN as it is on his Social Security Card.
3. He served his Initial Active duty for Training between 20 July 1962 and 19 January 1963, when he reverted to the USAR to complete his military service. His DD Form 214 shows his SSN with the last two digits transposed.
4. The above are the only two instances of a SSN appearing in his military records. Service numbers were used exclusively at that time.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record shows the DA Form 4 with the correct SSN and as such, it appears an administrative error was made on the DD Form 214.
2. The SSN shown on the applicant's DD Form 214 clearly has the last two digits transposed. It should be corrected.

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 "XXX-XX-0030." Every document in his DA Form 201 (Military Personnel Records Jacket (MPRJ)) contains his Army-issued service number; the only document that contains his SSN is his DD Form 214. His DD Form 214 should therefore be corrected.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant requests correction of the social security number (SSN) shown on his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) ending 31 October 1971.

Item 1 (Social Security Account [Number]) of a USAAC Form 170 (Army Reserve Personnel Data Review) signed by the applicant on 20 March 1969 shows the SSN on file was "XX576XXXX." The record clearly shows he reported his correct SSN when he enlisted and, notwithstanding the errors identified above, this SSN was the SSN of record throughout his RA and USAR service. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by: a....

Item 3 (SSN) of the DD Form 214 he was issued shows his SSN with the last two digits as 35. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The evidence of record shows the applicant listed his SSN with the last two digits as 53 upon his induction into the AUS. Therefore, it would be appropriate at this time to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as it is shown on his Medicare card.

The last digit 7 is shown on every document contained in his OMPF until Special Orders Number 278 was published on 20 November 1968, releasing him from active duty, effective 12 December 1968. The applicants DD Form 214 shows 4 as the last digit of his SSN. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by amending item 3 on his DD Form 214 to show the SSN shown on his Social Security Card.

The applicants military records were not available for review by the Board. The available evidence in this case shows that the applicants correct SSN was recorded in his records as the SSN that is reflected on his Social Security Card, and as evidenced by the LES the applicant has provided with his application.
