IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 5 February 2015
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140011221
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-xxx3."
2. The applicant states his DD Form 214 incorrectly shows "xxx-xx-xxx5" as his SSN.
3. The applicant provides:
* Wadena County Veterans Service Officer Form dated 17 June 2014
* Social Security Card
* DD Form 214 dated 18 September 1966
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 15 August 1964, the applicant completed a DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History). He listed his SSN as "xxx-xx-xxx3."
3. He was inducted into the Army on 25 September 1964.
4. The applicant's Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) contains a DA Form 41 (Record of Emergency Data) dated 25 September 1964 which shows "xxx-xx-xxx3" as his SSN.
5. The applicant was honorably released from active duty on 18 September 1966. Item 32 (Remarks) of the DD Form 214 he received shows his SSN as "xxx-xx-xxx5."
6. The applicant provides a copy of his Social Security Card which shows his SSN as "xxx-xx-xxx3."
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. His DD Form 398 and his DA Form 41 show the same SSN.
2. It appears that during the preparation of his DD Form 214 an administrative error occurred that resulted in an incorrect SSN being listed on his DD Form 214. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct it to show his SSN as recorded on his DD Form 398, DA Form 41, and Social Security Card.

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
