IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 9 May 2013
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20120018777
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 "XXX-48-XXXX" instead of "XXX-40-XXXX."
2. The applicant states "personnel" made the incorrect entry on his DD Form 214.
3. The applicant provides:
* social security card
* birth certificate
* Standard Form 88 (Report of Medical Examination), dated 3 March 1970
* DD Form 214
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 13 March 1969. The applicant's DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History) which was completed upon his induction shows he disclosed his SSN as "XXX-48-XXXX."
3. The SSN "XXX-48-XXXX" is consistently used throughout the applicant's records.
4. On 10 March 1970, the applicant was honorably released from active duty and transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve Control Group (Annual Training). His DD Form 214 shows his SSN as "XXX-40-XXXX."
5. The applicant provides copies of his DD Form 214 and birth certificate. He also provides copies of his social security card and Standard Form 88 which both show his SSN as "XXX-48-XXXX."
6. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) prescribes the separation documents prepared for Soldier's upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Army. This regulation establishes standardized policy for the preparation of the DD Form 214. It states the complete name and SSN of the separating service member will be entered on the DD Form 214.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The evidence of record shows the applicant's SSN is consistently recorded throughout his records as "XXX-48-XXXX." Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as "XXX-48-XXXX."

The applicant states documents from the Social Security Administration (SSA) show his correct SSN is "XXX-X1-XXXX," which supports the fact that an error was made when the Military Entrance Processing Station verified his SSN upon his initial entry into the active Army in 1983. He then stated the applicant's correct SSN was "XXX-X4-XXXX" instead of what the applicant had stated. Concerning his request that his military records be corrected in DEERS, DFAS, and other appropriate agencies,...
