IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 13 August 2013
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20130011829
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 removal of a Health Professions Officer (HPO) Board Certification Pay (BCP) agreement and HPO Combined Incentive Pay (CIP) and Retention Bonus (RB) agreement from his Army Military Human Resource Record (AMHRR) (formerly known as the Official Military Personnel File).
2. The applicant states his retention bonus agreements were rescinded before going to Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS); however, they were placed in his AMHRR.
3. The applicant provides an email from the U.S. Army Human Resources Command, dated 19 June 2013 and copies of an HPO BCP agreement and HPO CIP and RB agreement.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. Having prior Regular Army and U.S. Army Reserve service, the applicant was appointed in the Nevada Army National Guard in the Medical Specialist Corps on 2 September 2010 in the rank and grade of first lieutenant/O-2.
2. His AMHRR contains a memorandum addressed to the Department of the Army Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG) Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Special Pay Branch. The memorandum shows he requested HPO BCP in the amount of $6,000.00 per year on 21 May 2013. The Commander, 92nd Civil Support Team, approved the request.
3. His AMHRR also contains memorandum addressed to the OTSG AMEDD Special Pay Branch showing he requested HPO CIP and RB in the amount of $25,000.00 per year on 21 May 2013. The Commander, 92nd Civil Support Team, approved the request.
4. An email from a representative of the OTSG Special Pay Branch, dated 6 August 2013, verified that the applicant did not receive payment for the incentive agreements filed in his AMHRR.
5. Army Regulation 600-8-104 (Army Military Human Resource Records Management) prescribes the policies governing the AMHRR and Army Personnel Qualification Records. Paragraph 2-4 states that once a document is placed in the AMHRR, it becomes a permanent part of that file and will not be removed from that file or moved to another part of the file unless directed by, among other agencies, the Army Board for Correction of Military Records.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The evidence of record shows the applicant's HPO BCP agreement and HPO IP and RB agreement were filed in his AMHRR. The OTSG Special Pay Branch verified he did not receive payment of incentive bonuses. Based on verification by the OTSG Special Pay Branch, it would be appropriate to remove the agreements from the applicant's AMHRR.
