IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 8 August 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20130014194
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-XX-X4XX."
2. The applicant states the SSN listed in item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 is incorrect.
3. The applicant provides:
* DD Form 214
* 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. The applicant's DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History), dated
7 January 1967, shows his SSN as "XXX-XX-X4XX."
3. He enlisted in the Regular Army on 16 January 1967 for a period of 2 years. He served as an armor crewman and he was honorably released from active duty on 15 January 1969.
4. Item 3 of his DD Form 214 shows his SSN as "XXX-XX-X6XX."
5. He provided a copy of his social security card which shows his SSN as
"XXX-XX-X4XX."
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The applicant's DD Form 398 shows he recorded his SSN as "XXX-XX-X4XX" in January 1967 in connection with his enlistment. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to list this SSN.

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). 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. The applicant's DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History), dated 31 May 1966, shows his SSN as "xxx-xx-x4xx."
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140010459
The applicant requests correction of his records to show his Social Security Number (SSN) as "XXX-XX-X4XX" instead of "XXX-XX-X8XX." However, during his processing for enlistment into the Regular Army, his SSN was recorded in his military records as "XXX-XX-X4XX." The available evidence shows the applicant's correct SSN was entered in his military records during the period of his active duty.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120009259
All other documents in the applicant's Army Military Human Resource Record (AMHRR), formerly known as the Official Military Personnel File (OMPF), bearing his middle name shows the middle name as "Fredric." Therefore, it would be appropriate at this time to correct his DD Form 214 accordingly. _______ _ __x_____ ___ CHAIRPERSON I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in this case.

Therefore, he is entitled to correction of his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as "xxx-xx-x4xx."

This case is being considered using a reconstructed NPRC record that includes a few original official military personnel file documents and his DD Form 214. The majority of the available documents contained in the applicant's NPRC reconstructed file list his assigned service number and do not contain an SSN. Absent convincing independent and verifiable evidence to the contrary, it is presumed that the applicant's military service records, including the DD Form 214, were correct at the time...
