Ref: (a) Title 10 U.S.C. 1552
End: (1) DD Form 149 w/attachments
(2) NPC memorandum of 10 January 2003
(3) Subject’s naval record
1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject’s widow,
hereinafter referred to as
Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that
the applicable naval
record be corrected to show enrollment in the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP),
pursuant to the
BARBER decision.
2. The Board, consisting of Messrs. Beckett, Brezna, and Pfeiffer, reviewed
Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 4 February 2003 and,
pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action
indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record.
Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures,
naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.
3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to
Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice, finds as follows:
a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all
administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within
the Department of the Navy.
b. In correspondence attached as enclosure (2), the office having
cognizance over the subject matter addressed in Petitioner’s application
has commented to the effect that the request has merit and warrants
favorable action.
CONCLUSION
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially
in light of the contents of enclosure (2), the Board finds the existence of
an injustice warranting the following corrective action.
Docket No: 9562-02
RECOMMENDATION:
That Subject’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that:
a. Prior to his 1 June 1973 transfer to the Fleet Reserve he enrolled in
SBP for spouse coverage, at the full base amount, naming as the
beneficiary. Any other election or declination executed by Subject is null
and void as the evidence indicates Mrs. was not notified of her husband’s
decision to decline SBP. In keeping with the precedent set by Barber v.
United States, Mrs. should therefore be entitled to an SBP annuity at the
maximum level.
b. SBP premiums which would have been deducted from Petty Officer
retainer
pay since retirement should be deducted from Mrs.. future benefits.
c. Petty Officer died on 26 January 1987.
d. That a copy of this Report of Proceedings be filed in Petitioner’s
naval record.
4. Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the Board for
Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section
723.6(c)) it is certified that quorum was present at the Board’s review and
deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the
Board’s proceedings in the above entitled matter.
ROBERT D. ZSALMAN ADAMS
Recorder Acting Recorder
5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the
revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of
Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)) and having assured compliance with
its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing corrective
action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by
the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
