THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY FINDS:

13.  Subsequent to the Board’s 24 November 1999 decision in this case, the staff of the Board was telephonically advised by Defense Finance and Accounting Service that correction of the deceased former service member’s (FSM) records could not be completed because all references made to Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) throughout the Board proceedings as shown applied to Regular Army members and should have been preceded by the words “Reserve Component” (RC) since the FSM was a member of the Reserve Component, not a Regular Army member, and the rules governing SBP for RC and RA members are separate.

THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY CONCLUDES: 

4.  At the time of the Board’s 24 November 1999 decision in this case, it was the intent of the Board to make the deceased FSM’s record as administratively correct as it should properly have been at the time.

5.  In view of the Board’s inadvertent error, the military records of the deceased FSM should be corrected to show that he intended to reestablish RCSBP for his former spouse within one year after their divorce on 22 March 1994.

6.  In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by:

	a.  amending the Board’s recommendation appearing in the proceedings, dated 24 November 1999, to change the deceased FSM’s Reserve Component Survivor Benefit Plan election from spouse only to former spouse only coverage effective 22 March 1994; and

	b.  pay the applicant former spouse only RCSBP annuity with an effective date of 1 September 1998 after collecting the appropriate amount for RCSBP premium costs.
