BOARD DATE: 12 February 2015
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140011641
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 the social security number (SSN) listed in item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge).
2. He states his correct SSN is XXX-XX-4XXX. He would like to have the error on his DD Form 214 fixed so he can file for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
3. He provides a statement from his wife, a letter from the Army Review Boards Agency, a National Guard Bureau (NGB) Form 23 (Retirement Credits Record), his DD Form 214, and an NGB Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service).
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 complete military service records are not available for review. This case is being considered using the documents he has provided.
3. The applicant enlisted in the Ohio Army National Guard (OHARNG) on 24 November 1971.
4. His DD Form 214 shows he was ordered to active duty for training (ACDUTRA) on 14 January 1972. On 28 May 1972, he was honorably released from ACDUTRA and returned to the OHARNG. Item 3 of his DD Form 214 shows his SSN as "XXX-XX-2XXX."
5. An NGB Form 23 completed on or after 23 November 1977 shows his SSN as "XXX-XX-4XXX."
6. He was honorably discharged from the OHARNG on 23 November 1977. Item 3 (SSN) of the NGB Form 22 issued at that time shows his SSN as "XXX-XX-4XXX."
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The SSN the applicant claims is correct was recorded in his military records. It appears an administrative error resulted in the incorrect transcription of his SSN on his DD Form 214. It would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show the SSN listed on his NGB Form 22.

The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) to show his correct social security number (SSN). On 21 July 1977, the applicant submitted a DD Form 149 (Application for Correction of Military or Naval Record under the provisions of Title 10, U.S. Code, section 1552) requesting a correction to his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as "XXX-XX-1XXX." The evidence of record shows the applicant was discharged on 7 April 1967 and he was issued a DD Form...

The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the Unites States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show his Social Security Number (SSN) as xxx-xx-4xxx instead of xxx-xx-1xxx. Item 3 (SSN) of the DD Form 214 he was issued at the time shows his SSN as xxx-xx-1xxx. However, at the time of his enlistment processing, his SSN was recorded in his military records as xxx-xx-4xxx.

BOARD DATE: 6 March 2014 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20130012365 THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE: 1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). Item 13 (Employment - SSN) of his DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History), completed at the time of his induction processing, lists his SSN as "XXX-XX-9XXX."
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120007397
The applicant provides: * his National Guard Bureau (NGB) Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service) for the period ending 22 March 1962 * his DD Form 214 for the period ending 5 May 1967 CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE: 1. Upon his completion of ACDUTRA, he was issued a DD Form 214 that shows the SSN and SN he claims are correct. His DD Form 4 for this enlistment shows the SN he claims is correct.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110011325
His DD Form 4 (Enlistment Record Armed Forces of the United States), dated 30 September 1965, does not list his SSN and only shows his Army service number (ASN). Item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 shows his SSN with the last four digits as "5XXX." This error was compounded when his DD Form 214 was completed using this SSN.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090021966
The applicant's DA Form 20 (Enlisted Qualification Record) that was created upon the applicant's entrance into the Army shows his Service Number; it does not show his SSN. The evidence of records shows that the applicant used his Service Number throughout his military service. Although he completed a DA Form 41 and listed his SSN as "xxx-xx-9xxx," he also completed an Army Reserve Personnel Data Review shortly after his active duty separation and he listed his SSN as "xxx-xx-4xxx."
