IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 3 April 2012
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110019056
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 "x3x-xx-xxxx" instead of "x2x-xx-xxxx."
2. The applicant states his SSN is incorrect on his DD Form 214.
3. The applicant provides a copy of his social security card that shows his SSN as "x3x-xx-xxxx.".
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 enlisted in the Regular Army on 7 July 1964. He completed a DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History) in connection with his enlistment and shows his SSN as "x3x-xx-xxxx."
3. His DA Form 20 (Enlisted Qualification Record), which was created upon his entry on active duty, shows his SSN as "x3x-xx-xxxx."
4. His record contains Special Orders Number 94, issued by Headquarters, Two Rock Ranch Station, Petaluma, CA, dated 7 June 1968, that reassigned him to the Transfer Station, Personnel Center, Oakland Army Base, Oakland, CA, with a reporting date of 6 July 1968. These orders show his SSN as "x3x-xx-xxxx."
5. On 6 July 1968, he was honorably released from active duty at the expiration of his term of service. Item 3 (SSN) of the DD Form 214 he was issued at the time shows his SSN as "x2x-xx-xxxx."
6. The applicant provided a copy of his social security card that contains his name and the SSN of "x3x-xx-xxxx."
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The applicant's record shows he enlisted under and consistently used the SSN of "x3x-xxxx" throughout his period of military service. It appears his SSN was incorrectly entered on his DD Form 214 as a result of an administrative error. Therefore, his DD Form 214 should be corrected to reflect his correct SSN.

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 "x3x-xx-xxxx" instead of "x2x-xx-xxxx." The applicant was inducted into the Army of the United States on 19 February 1964.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110005607
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant requests correction of item 3 (Social Security Number (SSN)) of her DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show the number "2" instead of the number "3" in the second digit. The evidence of records shows that the SSN that contained the number "2" in the second digit is consistent with the SSN used throughout her military service.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2013 | 20130017605
The applicant's military record contains a DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History) which was completed during his enlistment processing. His record clearly lists this SSN on all applicable documents maintained throughout his military service. Absent convincing independent and verifiable evidence to the contrary, it is presumed that the applicant's military service records, including the DD Form 214, were correct at the time and there is insufficient evidence to grant relief in this case.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140020704
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to correct his social security number (SSN). His DD Form 214 shows in item 3 (Social Security Number) his SSN as X2X-XX-XXXX. However, evidence of record shows he submitted a USAAC Form 170 which shows he requested that his record be corrected to show his SSN as X4X-XX-XXXX while still serving in the Reserves.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120002881
His DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History) and DD Form 4 (Enlistment Contract) both show his SSN as "x3x-xx-xxxx." Item 3 (SSN) of the DD Form 214 he was issued at the time shows his SSN as "x0x-xx-xxxx." 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.
