IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 24 February 2015
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140011935
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-9318 versus XXX-XX-4318.
2. The applicant states his SSN is XXX-XX-9318 not XXX-XX-4318 as shown on his DD Form 214.
3. The applicant provides his DD Form 214, social security card, and Medicare 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 enlisted in the Regular Army on 3 January 1967.
3. On 18 December 1969, he was honorably released from active duty. His
DD Form 214 shows his SSN as XXX-XX-4XXX.
4. His records contain a DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History) which shows his SSN as XXX-XX-9XXX.
5. He provides a copy of his social security card, which shows his SSN as
XXX-XX-9XXX.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The evidence indicates an administrative error was made when recording the applicant's SSN on his DD Form 214. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct this error at this time.
