IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 27 February 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20130011418
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 SSN is shown as 243-XX-XXXX and should be
239-XX-XXXX.
3. The applicant provides a copy of his DD Form 214, State of North Carolina Driver License, Department of Veterans Affairs Identification card, Medicare Health Insurance card, and 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 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 26 June 1968, the applicant was inducted into the Army of the United States.
3. On 25 June 1970, he was honorably released from active duty. Item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 shows his SSN as 243-XX-XXXX.
4. His military records with exception of his DD Form 214 show his SSN as 239-XX-XXXX.
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.

As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by deleting the SSN listed on his DD Form 214 and adding the SSN that is listed on his social security card.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant's military record contains a DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History), dated 14 June 1966, that he completed during his enlistment processing.

The applicant requests that his records be corrected to reflect a Social Security Number (SSN) of 237-XX-XXXX instead of 243-XX-XXXX. The Army has an interest in maintaining the accuracy of its records and the evidence of record clearly shows the applicant served his entire period of service under the SSN that is currently reflected on his DD Form 214. Accordingly, there is no basis to grant the applicants request to change his SSN in his official military records.

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 "XX6-XX-XXXX" instead of "XX1-XX-XXXX." The applicant states the incorrect SSN on his DD Form 214 was a result of a typographical error.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140004153
The applicant requests correction of his records to show his social security number (SSN) as X73-XX-XXXX vice X28-XX-XXXX. The documents in the applicant's record show two different social security numbers when he served in the Army to include the one he is requesting. The evidence of record shows his SSN appeared as X28-XX-XXXX on the majority of the documents in his available service personnel and health records throughout his period of military service.
