IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 12 November 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140005814
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, in effect, correction of the social security number (SSN) shown on his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show xxx-52-xxxx.
2. The applicant makes no statement.
3. The applicant provides his DD Form 214.
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 9 September 1966, he enlisted in the Regular Army.
3. On 4 September 1969, Headquarters, U.S. Army Armor Center, issued Special Orders Number 177 releasing him from active duty. These orders show his SSN as xxx-52-xxxx.
4. On 8 September 1969, he was honorably released from active duty. His DD Form 214 shows his SSN as xxx-50-xxxx.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The orders releasing him from active duty show his SSN as xxx-52-xxxx.
2. His DD Form 214 shows his SSN as xxx-50-xxxx. It appears an administrative error occurred when entering his SSN on his DD Form 214. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 at this time to reflect the SSN as shown on Special Orders Number 177.

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
The Board determined that the evidence presented was 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 deleting the current SSN entry from his DD Form 214 and replacing it with the SSN shown on Special Orders Number 177.

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 evidence of record shows the applicant reported his correct SSN when he was inducted. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to reflect the SSN shown on his social security card.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080019507
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) to show his date of discharge as 27 December 1969 and his social security number (SSN) as xxx-50-xxxx. The evidence of record clearly shows that the applicant was discharged on 27 December 1968.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The DD Form 214 he was issued at the time shows his SSN as "xxx-x8-xxxx." However, Special Order Number 111, dated 10 June 1969, and his DD Form 398, dated 11 June 1969, both confirm he recorded his SSN as "xxx-x4-xxxx" at the time of induction and are accepted as sufficient evidence of his SSN.

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. When the applicant entered active duty, Soldiers were identified by an ASN. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents), effective 1 February 1967, stated the SSN in item 3 of the DD Form 214 would be transcribed from the Soldier's DA Form 2139.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110014644
His DD Form 4 (Enlistment Contract Armed Forces of the United States) shows his SSN as "XXX-92-XXXX"; however, other official documents prepared that day show his SSN as "XXX-82-XXXX." DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The evidence of record shows the applicant accurately represented his SSN as "XXX-82-XXXX" upon enlistment in the Regular Army. It appears that his DD Form 4 was prepared incorrectly and he did not notice his SSN was incorrect prior to authenticating the form.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110000800
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).

Accordingly, he is entitled to correction of his DD Form 214 to show the SSN xxx-7x-xxxx.
