		IN THE CASE OF:	  

		BOARD DATE:	  10 July 2014

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20130017647 


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 366-XX-XXXX.

2.  The applicant states his SSN is 366-XX-XXXX, not 360-XX-XXXX as shown on his DD Form 214.

3.  The applicant provides copies of his social security card and his Michigan chauffeur's license.

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 27 July 1966, the applicant was inducted into the Army of the United States.  His records consistently show the use of the SSN 366-XX-XXXX.

3.  The applicant's records contain Headquarters, U.S. Army Personnel Center, Fort Lewis, Washington, Special Orders Number 135, dated 14 May 1968, which show his SSN as 366-XX-XXXX.

4.  On 14 May 1968, he was honorably released from active duty.  His DD Form 214 shows his SSN as 360-XX-XXXX.

5.  The applicant provided a copy of his social security card which shows his SSN as 366-XX-XXXX.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

The evidence indicates an administrative error was made when recording the applicant's SSN on his DD Form 214 and it should be corrected.

BOARD VOTE:

____X____  ___X_____  ___X_____  GRANT FULL RELIEF 

________  ________  ________  GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF 

________  ________  ________  GRANT FORMAL HEARING

________  ________  ________  DENY APPLICATION

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 social security card.
