IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 27 February 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20130010580
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 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 23 April 1981 to show his social security number (SSN) as "xxx-x4-xxxx" instead of "xxx-x3-xxxx."
2. The applicant states:
* the SSN shown on his DD Form 214 for the period ending 23 April 1981 is incorrect
* his SSN is "xxx-x4-xxxx"
* the SSN shown on his DD Form 214 belongs to a deceased person
3. The applicant provides:
* Social security card
* 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 enlisted in the Army National Guard (ARNG) on 17 July 1980. His enlistment contract shows his SSN was corrected (pen change) to show his SSN as "xxx-x4-xxxx" instead of "xxx-x3-xxxx." He was ordered to active duty on 21 January 1981 for training and he was released from active duty on 23 April 1981.
3. Item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 23 April 1981 shows his SSN as "xxx-x3-xxxx."
4. He was discharged from the ARNG on 7 July 1989. His SSN is shown as "xxx-x4-xxxx" on his National Guard Bureau Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service).
5. He provides a copy of his social security card which shows his SSN as
"xxx-x4-xxxx."
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The applicant's ARNG enlistment contract, dated 17 July 1980, shows he recorded his SSN as "xxx-x4-xxxx." Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 for the period ending 23 April 1981 accordingly.

The applicant's records show he was inducted into the Army of the United States on 8 May 1969 using his Army service number. This DOB is consistent with the date that is documented throughout his military record. According to the available evidence the SSN that is shown on the applicant's DD Form 214 does not reflect the SSN that he was inducted with and served under.

The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) to show his social security number (SSN) as "XXX-X4-XXX9" instead of "XXX-X3-XXX0."

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.
