IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 16 December 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140007945
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 that his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) be corrected to show that the sixth digit of his Social Security Number (SSN) is a 4 instead of a 9.
2. The applicant states a clerical error resulted in his SSN being recorded with a 9 as the sixth digit.
3. The applicant provides a copy of his 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 was inducted on 21 April 1964 and he provided the SSN that is contained on his Social Security Card.
3. He was honorably released from active duty (REFRAD) on 18 April 1966. His DD Form 214 issued at the time of his REFRAD reflects a SSN containing a 9 as the sixth digit.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant was inducted and served under the SSN that is contained on his Social Security Card. However, it appears that an administrative error was made at the time his DD Form 214 was prepared and resulted in an incorrect SSN being entered in item 32 (Remarks) of his DD Form 214.
2. Accordingly, the incorrect SSN should be deleted from his DD Form 214 and his correct SSN entered in its place.

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 SSN contained in item 32 of his DD Form 214 and replacing it with the SSN that is contained on his Social Security Card.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140005159
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant states his SSN is incorrectly listed on his DD Form 214. His DD Form 47 (Record of Induction) identified him by his Service Number but also listed a hand-written SSN X4X-4X-2XXX as on his DD Form 398.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140018459
Item 3 (SSN) of the DD Form 214 he was issued shows his SSN with the sixth digit as 5. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The evidence of record shows the applicant listed his SSN with the sixth digit as 8 while serving in the AUS. Therefore, it would be appropriate at this time to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as it is shown on his social security card.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2013 | 20130021980
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The evidence of record confirms the applicant's SSN was listed with the sixth and seventh digits as 69 upon his induction into the AUS and his entry on active duty. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show his correct SSN.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100012506
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show his correct social security number (SSN) contains the number "5" as the sixth digit instead of the number "6." DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The evidence of record shows that upon induction in the AUS the applicant listed an SSN containing the number "5" as the sixth digit.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2015 | 20150001601
The evidence of record confirms the applicant's DOB was listed as 26 March 1945 upon his enlistment in the MDARNG and this is the DOB he used throughout his military service. Therefore, his DD Form 214 should be corrected to show his DOB as 26 March 1945. Therefore, it would be appropriate at this time to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as it is shown on his social security card.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2013 | 20130002219
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). He had served 2 years of active service and his DD Form 214 issued at the time of his REFRAD shows that his SSN contains a 2 as the third digit. At the time of his induction the applicant listed a SSN that contained a 2 as the third digit and this is reflected on his DD Form 214.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140000430
At the time of his induction he provided an SSN that matches the SSN on the Social Security Card he provides (last four digits 1580). As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by deleting the SSN contained on his DD Form 214 and replacing it with the SSN that is contained on his Social Security Card. _______ _ X _______ ___ CHAIRPERSON I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings...
