IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 19 June 2012
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110024771
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 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) to show his social security number (SSN) as "XXX-XX-1669."
2. The applicant states:
* an administrative error was made when his SSN was entered on his DD Form 214
* he verified his SSN with the Social Security Administration
3. The applicant provides:
* DD Form 214
* social security card
* driver's license
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. On 21 April 1969, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Army. He completed training and was awarded military occupational specialty 94A (Food Service Apprentice). The highest rank/grade he attained while serving on active duty was private first class/E-3.
3. His official military personnel file contains the following five documents showing his SSN as "XXX-XX-1669":
* Veterans Administration Form 29-8286 (Servicemen's Group Life Insurance Election), dated 7 December 1969
* DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History), dated 7 December 1969
* assignment orders, dated 12 December 1969
* DA Form 2496 (Disposition Form), dated 28 May 1970
* DA Form 268 (Report for Suspension of Favorable Personnel Actions), dated 15 June 1970
4. Orders releasing him from active duty, dated 12 June 1970, show his SSN as "XXX-XX-1699." He was honorably released from active duty on 15 June 1970. He completed 1 year and 29 days of active military service.
5. His DD Form 214 shows his SSN as "XXX-XX-1699."
6. He provides his social security card showing his SSN as "XXX-XX-1669."
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The available evidence indicates an error was made in recording the applicant's SSN on the orders releasing him from active duty. This error was then carried forward to his DD Form 214. It would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as "XXX-XX-1669."

His records contain a DD Form 47 (Record of induction), dated 13 November 1967, that indicates his SSN is xxx-xx-x1xx. The evidence of record and Social Security card provided by the applicant is sufficient to warrant correcting the applicant's SSN on his DD Form 214. __________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.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140010322
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-78XX" instead of "XXX-XX-37XX." Item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 shows his SSN as "XXX-XX-37XX." The evidence of record shows he was inducted into the Army of the United States on 5 March 1969, and at the time of his induction his SSN was represented as both "XXX-XX-37XX" and "XXX-XX-78XX."
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140011730
Item 3 (SSN) of the DD Form 214 that he was issued at the time shows his SSN as "XXX-XX-XX82." However, at some point after his induction into the U.S. Army on 4 June 1969, the available evidence shows his SSN was recorded in his military records as "XXX-XX-XX82" and that SSN is recorded on his 8 December 1970 DD Form 214. The available evidence shows that, after a break in military service, the applicant's correct SSN was entered in his military records when he enlisted in the USAR.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). His DD Form 214 shows his SSN as XXX-XX-0145.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110025205
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The evidence of record supports the applicant's contention that an incorrect SSN was associated with his military records and that his correct SSN was recorded in military records during both his active duty and reserve service. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant's DD Form 214 to show his correct SSN.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2015 | 20150000471
His DD Form 47 (Record of Induction) lists his SSN as XXX-XX-686X. The available evidence confirms the applicant used both the SSN he now claims is correct and the SSN listed on his DD Form 214. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by deleting the current SSN entry in item 3 of his DD Form 214 and replacing it with the SSN as shown on his social security card.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140014229
His DD Form 4 (Enlistment Record Armed Forces of the United States) identifies him by his service number; his SSN does not appear on this form. The evidence of record shows the applicant represented his SSN as "XXX-XX-XX47" throughout his enlistment process. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by correcting his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as it is listed on his social security card.

Therefore, he is entitled to correction of his DD Forms 214 dated 21 June 1970 and 12 November 1971 to show his SSN as xxx-xx-32xx. As a result, the Board recommends that all...
