IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 7 April 2015
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140015182
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 259-XX-XXXX instead of 289-XX-XXXX.
2. The applicant states his DD Form 214 incorrectly shows his SSN as
289-XX-XXXX; therefore, he believes a typographical error occurred.
3. The applicant provides:
* DD Form 214
* photocopy of 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 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 was inducted in the Army of the United States on 25 October 1967.
3. On 28 May 1969, he was honorably released from active duty. His
DD Form 214 shows his SSN as 289-XX-XXXX.
4. His records contains three key documents that were executed at or near his time of entry on active duty that list his SSN as he contends it should be listed
(259-XX-XXXX):
* DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History)
* Special Orders Number 208, dated 25 October 1967, issued by Armed Forces Examining and Entrance Station (induction order)
* DD Form 1584 (National Agency Check Request)
5. He provides a copy of his social security card, which shows his SSN as
259-XX-XXXX.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The evidence in the applicant's record indicates he used SSN 259-XX-XXXX upon entering military service. It is reasonable to conclude that an administrative error was made when recording the applicant's SSN on his DD Form 214. It would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show the SSN used when he entered active duty.

amending his DD Form 214 to show the SSN listed on his social security card.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant completed a DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History) on 8 February 1966 in connection with his induction into the Army of the United States (AUS) wherein he listed his SSN with the number "0" as the third digit. His DD Form 47 (Record of Induction) lists his service number; it does not list his SSN.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110008367
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). Item 13 (Employment SSN) of the applicant's DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History), dated 15 July 1966, shows his SSN as 234-xx-xxxx. This document contains his signature. The DD Form 214 he was issued at the time shows his SSN as 289-xx-xxxx. 8.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140020704
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to correct his social security number (SSN). His DD Form 214 shows in item 3 (Social Security Number) his SSN as X2X-XX-XXXX. However, evidence of record shows he submitted a USAAC Form 170 which shows he requested that his record be corrected to show his SSN as X4X-XX-XXXX while still serving in the Reserves.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). 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 "569-XX-XXXX." Therefore, it would be appropriate at this time to correct his DD Form 214 accordingly.

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. The applicant's DD Form 47 (Record of Induction) reflects his assigned service number "US 5x 3xx 8xx and SSN "4x5-xx-xxxx." Although the applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as "5x4-xx-xxxx" all but one of the...
