IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 24 February 2015
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140012217
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 the first digit of his social security number (SSN) as "4" versus "3."
2. The applicant states item 32 (Remarks) of his DD Form 214 incorrectly lists his SSN.
3. The applicant provides his DD Form 214 and 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 3Â 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 12 March 1963.
3. His record contains two DD Forms 398 (Statement of Personal History), dated 13 April 1963 and 3 October 1963, which show the first digit of his SSN as "4."
4. He was honorably released from active duty on 7 March 1966 and transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve. Item 32 of his DD Form 214 shows the first digit of his SSN as "3."
5. He provides a social security card that shows his name and his SSN. The first digit of his SSN is listed as "4."
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
His DD Forms 398 and social security card show the first digit of his SSN as "4." It appears an error occurred during the preparation of his DD Form 214 that resulted in his SSN being incorrectly entered on his DD Form 214. Therefore, he is entitled to correction of his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as it is listed on his social security card.
BOARD VOTE:

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
