		IN THE CASE OF:	   

		BOARD DATE:	  28 July 2015

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20140021392 


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 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) to show his correct social security number (SSN).

2.  The applicant states an administrative error occurred in the entry of the SSN on his DD Form 214.  

3.  The applicant provides a copy of his social security card and DD Form 214.

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.  Contact with the National Personnel Records Center failed to locate any service personnel records.

3.  The DD Form 214 shows the Soldier served on active duty from 25 June 1978 through 11 September 1978.  He was separated due to not meeting procurement medical fitness standards.  

4.  The DD Form 214 shows an SSN of XXX-XX-832X.  His social security card shows the SSN of XXX-XX-830X.

5.  Army Regulation 15–185 (Army Board for Correction of Military Records) prescribes the policies and procedures for correction of military records by the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR).  Paragraph 2-9 states that the ABCMR begins its consideration of each case with the presumption of administrative regularity.  The applicant has the burden of proving an error or injustice by a preponderance of the evidence.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

Without access to the applicant’s service records it cannot be determined which SSN the applicant served under; therefore, the presumption of administrative regularity must be applied and presume that the DD Form 214 is correct.

BOARD VOTE:

________  ________  ________ GRANT FULL RELIEF 

________  ________  ________ GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF 

________  ________  ________ GRANT FORMAL HEARING

___x____  ___x_____  ___x____ DENY APPLICATION

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

The evidence presented does not demonstrate the existence of a probable error or injustice.  Therefore, the Board determined that the overall merits of this case are insufficient as a basis for correction of the records of the individual concerned.

    Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active duty) to show his social security number (SSN) as XXX-XX-6XXX. A review of the available records does not show that a DD Form 215 (Correction to DD Form 214) was ever issued correcting his SSN.

    Item 3 (SSN) of the DD Form 214 that he was issued at the time shows his SSN as "XXX-XX-XX82." However, at some point after his induction into the U.S. Army on 4 June 1969, the available evidence shows his SSN was recorded in his military records as "XXX-XX-XX82" and that SSN is recorded on his 8 December 1970 DD Form 214. The available evidence shows that, after a break in military service, the applicant's correct SSN was entered in his military records when he enlisted in the USAR.

    Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The evidence of record shows his SSN consistently appeared as "XXX-XX-1XXX" on documents in his records throughout his period of military service. Based on his Social Security Card, his SSN is currently "XXX-XX-4XXX"; however, it is not the SSN he used when he served on active duty, and this does not change the conditions and circumstances that existed at the time his service records were created.
