RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS.


IN THE MATTER OF: 				DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01634

 						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reported earnings for 1982 be corrected.  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His reported earnings for 1982 and 1983 reflect as $3,214.  He 
earned $10,002 in 1981; the amount earned in 1982 is incorrect.

This error affects the amount he will receive in social security 
benefits upon retirement.  He provides a copy of his earnings 
record provided by the Social Security Administration.  

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the DD Form 149, Application for Correction of 
Military Record, provided by the applicant, he was discharged on 
6 April 1983 in the grade of Senior Airman (SrA, E-4).  

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 B.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

DFAS/IN recommends denial based on the statute of limitations.  
The applicant was honorably discharged from the Air Force on 
6 April 1983.  This is outside the six year statute of 
limitations for any and all pay records, to include the Internal 
Revenue Service (IRS).    

A complete copy of the DFAS/IN evaluation is at Exhibit B.

?
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 23 March 2016 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit C).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.


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 an error or injustice.  The 
applicant requests that the Board correct his Social Security 
Statement; however, this Board is without authority to correct 
the records belonging to the Social Security Administration.  In 
this respect, we also note the 10 March 2015 letter from the 
Social Security Administration to the applicant instructs him to 
contact their office in case of a mistake.  Therefore, we agree 
with the opinion and recommendation of the Defense Finance 
Accounting Service (DFAS) and adopt its rationale as the basis 
for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an 
error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to 
the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the 
requested relief.


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

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