		BOARD DATE:	  6 February 2014

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20130011417 


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 social security number (SSN) shown on his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge).

2.  The applicant states his service number/SSN is shown as XXX-XX-7822 and should be XXX-XX-7802.

3.  The applicant provides a copy of his DD Form 214 and U.S. Uniformed Services Identification 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 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 23 July 1970, the applicant was commissioned and entered extended active duty.  His military documents consistently show his SSN as XXX-XX-7802.

3.  On 31 January 1972, he was honorably released from active duty.  Item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 shows his SSN as XXX-XX-7822.

4.  He provided a copy of his U.S. Uniformed Services Identification Card showing his SSN as XXX-XX-7802.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

The evidence indicates an administrative error was made when recording the applicant's SSN on his DD Form 214.  It would be appropriate to correct this error at this time.

BOARD VOTE:

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

The Board determined the evidence presented is sufficient to warrant a recommendation for relief.  As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by amending his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as shown on his U.S. Uniformed Services Identification Card.

    The evidence of record shows the U.S. Army was not using the SSN for identification purposes at the time the applicant enlisted. Records show the applicant's correct SSN was used throughout his active duty service and on his DD Form 214 when he was transferred back to the USAR. The evidence of record also shows that an incorrect SSN was entered on the applicant's discharge orders from the USAR.
