IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 9 June 2015
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140018459
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-8XXX vice XXX-XX-5XXX.
2. The applicant states the incorrect SSN is listed on his DD Form 214.
3. The applicant 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. The applicant was inducted into the Army of the United States (AUS) on 10 August 1965.
3. His DA Form 20 (Enlisted Qualification Record) created upon his entry on active duty shows only his service number (SN) and not his SSN. His record contains orders, personnel, and medical documents that only show his SN and not his SSN.
4. On 24 July 1967, he completed a DA Form 41 (Record of Emergency Data) wherein he listed his SSN with the sixth digit as 8.
5. He was honorably released from active duty on 27 July 1967 and he was transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve. Item 3 (SSN) of the DD Form 214 he was issued shows his SSN with the sixth digit as 5.
6. Letter Orders Number 07-1148643, dated 28 July 1971, issued by the USAR Components Personnel and Administration Center, St. Louis, MO, honorably discharged him from the USAR effective 9 August 1971. These orders show his SSN with the sixth digit as 8.
7. The applicant provides his social security card wherein it shows his SSN with the sixth digit as 8.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The evidence of record shows the applicant listed his SSN with the sixth digit as 8 while serving in the AUS. This is the only SSN that he used during his active duty service. It appears an administrative error occurred during the preparation of his DD Form 214 and his SSN was entered with the sixth digit as 5. Therefore, it would be appropriate at this time to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as it is shown on his social security card.
