IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 24 February 2015
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140012549
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) by showing his correct social security number (SSN).
2. The applicant states, in effect, that his SSN is wrong on his DD Form 214.
3. The applicant provides copies of his:
* DD Form 214
* 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 applicants 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 applicants failure to timely file. In all other respects, there are insufficient bases to waive the statute of limitations for timely filing.
2. On 19 January 1968, the applicant was inducted into the Army of the United States. A review of the applicants military records revealed that all documents, on file, except for his DA Form 20 (Enlisted Qualification Record), shows a slightly different SSN than what is recorded on his social security card. His DA Form 20 shows the same SSN as indicated on his social security card.
3. A review of the applicant's DD Form 214 reveals that the SSN does not match the number shown on his DA Form 20 or on his social security card.
4. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents), as then in effect, provided detailed instructions for completing separation documents, including the DD Form 214. The DD Form 214 is a summary of a Soldier's most recent period of continuous active service. It provided a brief, clear-cut record of active duty service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or discharge.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant contends that his DD Form 214 should be corrected by showing his SSN the same as on his social security card.
2. The applicants DA Form 20 contains the same SSN as indicated on his social security card. Therefore, the incorrect SSN entered on his DD Form 214 should be corrected.
