_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She be reimbursed for overpayment of her Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance (SGLI) premiums she paid for the period 1 September 2001 through 1 January 2002.  

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit B. 

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPS recommends the application be denied.  DPS states that the commander did not approve the applicant’s request for reassignment and that the applicant has not attended a drill since she submitted her request.  DPS states that because of “Stop Loss” she is still attached to the 482nd Medical Squadron at Homstead Air Reserve Station, FL and there is no reason to assume that SGLI would be automatically cancelled 

The DPS evaluation is attached at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 12 April 2002 for review and response.  As of this date, this office has received no response.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.	The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.	The application was timely filed.

3.	Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  The applicant was properly charged with a debt as a result of the passage of Public Law 106-419, Section 312, effective 1 April 2001, which automatically increased the level of SGLI coverage.  We agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that no basis exists to reimburse the premiums withheld.  Therefore, we do not recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
