RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04367

   					COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance (SGLI) coverage be changed from $250,000.00 to $350,000.00.  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her record is in error.  At the time of her retirement she was authorized $350,000.00 of SGLI coverage.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 19 Jun 84.

On 23 Oct 01, the applicant signed up for the maximum of $250,000.00 SGLI coverage.  

On 1 Jul 05, the applicant retired after 20 years, and 12 days of total active service.   

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPFC recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  The maximum coverage allowed by law for SGLI coverage at the time of her retirement was $250,000.00.  She cannot be authorized a higher level of coverage than allowed by law.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPFC evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 25 Feb 15 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.


FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:

After careful consideration of applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, we find the application untimely.  Applicant did not file within three years after the alleged error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records.  The applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the merits.  Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant’s failure to file in a timely manner.  


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the interest of justice to waive the untimeliness.  It is the decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as untimely.
