IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 17 April 2012
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110021243
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 the social security number (SSN) shown on his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty).
2. He states he received a new SSN after he was released from active duty. He was ticketed by the police, who discovered there were two people with the same SSN. It took Congress 5 years to give him a new SSN.
3. He provides his DD Form 214, a letter from a Member of Congress, letters from a veterans service officer, a Social Security Administration SSN Printout, and 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. On 9 April 1987, the applicant enlisted in the Indiana Army National Guard (INARNG).
3. His DD Form 214 shows he served on active duty from 18 August 1987 to 26 January 1988 to complete initial entry training. Item 3 (SSN) shows an SSN beginning with "303."
4. On 5 October 1995, he was honorably discharged from the INARNG and transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) Control Group (Reinforcement) to complete his contractual obligation. Item 3 (SSN) of the NGB Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service) issued at that time shows an SSN beginning with "316."
5. On 8 April 1997, he was discharged from the USAR. His discharge orders show the SSN beginning with "316."
6. He provides a letter from a Member of Congress, dated 29 April 1992, informing him a new SSN had been issued under his name as he had requested. He also provides an SSN Printout and his social security card, which show the SSN beginning with "316."
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The evidence of record shows the applicant's SSN was changed in 1992, after his DD Form 214 was issued. The new SSN was then used as the SSN of record. It would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to reflect the SSN shown on his NGB Form 22.

The applicant requests that his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) be corrected to show the first three digits of his social security number (SSN) as 316. 2. 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.

The verification from the Social Security Administration does not list the applicant's name or SSN. According to Army Regulation 601-210, verification of the applicant's SSN was required at the time of his enlistment. Although the applicant's social security card, VA Form 29-8286, and an order contained in his records show his SSN as XXX-XX-6528, he has provided no evidence or explanation as to why his records contain two different SSN.

The applicant requests correction of item 3 (Social Security Number (SSN)) of his DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) to show the first digit as "1" instead of "4." The applicant's request to have his SSN in his Army records changed was carefully considered; however, it is not supported by the evidence provided.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). However, based on the evidence of record and the evidence he submitted, it would be appropriate to correct only the applicant's DD Form 214 to show his correct SSN. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by adding to item 30 of his DD Form 214 the entry: "SSAN: XXX-XX-XXXX" (i.e., the number as shown on the Social Security...

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 shown on his Social Security Administration SSN Printout. It also appears that he was issued a social security card before he was discharged in June 1970 because several service personnel records show his SSN as 473-XX-XXXX. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be...
