IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 4 June 2015
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140018216
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) shown on his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge).
2. He states his SSN is incorrect and should be xxx-xx-xxx9.
3. He provides his DD Form 214 and 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. He was inducted into the Army of the United States on 27 May 1965.
3. His record contains a DA Form 93 (Record of Emergency Data), dated
27 May 1965, indicating his SSN as xxx-xx-xxx9.
4. He was released from active duty on 10 May 1967. Item 3 (SSN) of his
DD Form 214 lists his SSN as xxx-xx-xxx7.
5. He provides his social security card which lists his SSN as xxx-xx-xxx9.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant's record contains a DA Form 93 which lists the same SSN listed on the social security card he provided.
2. It appears that an error was made in entering the SSN on his DD Form 214; therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as it is listed on his social security card.
