	XXX-XX-XXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She be reimbursed for premiums paid on her Family Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance (FSGLI).  

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was not notified on 1 November 2001 that there was a change.  If she had know of the change and that it affected her and her spouse, she would have declined coverage.  

The applicant provided no evidence in support of her appeal.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the rank of first lieutenant (O-2).  Her Total Active Federal Military Service Date is 9 December 1998.  

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPW recommends the application be denied.  On 8 April 2003, AFPC/DPW notified the applicant that they were unable to process her application without additional documentation.  DPW requested a copy of her leave and earnings statement for the period of the alleged error, a copy of her SGLV 8286A, Family Coverage Election Certificate, and any documentation to support her claim.  The applicant did not respond; therefore, DPW indicates the applicant has not provided the information needed to sufficiently evaluate her claim.  The DPW 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 9 June 2003 for review and response (Exhibit C).  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.  Since the applicant did not provide the additional information requested in order to sufficiently evaluate her claim, it is our opinion that no basis exists to reimburse the premiums withheld.  Therefore, the applicant’s request is not favorably considered. 

_________________________________________________________________

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.
