      (3) Subject’s naval record 
 
1.  Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board), requesting that his naval record be corrected to establish entitlement to reimbursement of personally procured move (PPM). 
 
2.  The Board, consisting of  reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 1 December 2020 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record.  Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, relevant portions of Petitioner’s naval record, and applicable 
statutes, regulations and policies. 
 
3.  The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice, found that, before applying to this Board, he exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.  The Board made the following findings: 
 
     a.  On 4 June 2009, Petitioner entered active duty. 
 
     b.  On 3 July 2019, Petitioner completed a PPM. 
 
     c.  On 4 August 2019, Petitioner was honorably discharged. 
 
     d.  On 6 August 2019, Petitioner was issued BUPERS Order: 2189 (Official Separation Orders). 
 
     e.  In correspondence attached as enclosure (2), the office having cognizance over the subject          matter addressed in Petitioner’s application has commented to the effect that the request          has merit and warrants favorable action. 

CONCLUSION 
 
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of enclosure (2), the Board finds the existence of an error warranting the following corrective action.  Petitioner was issued Official Separation Orders after the date of discharge, thereby impeding his ability to complete the PPM process correctly.  Because the proper administrative requirements were not completed in a timely manner, the Board felt that under these circumstances, relief is warranted. 
                             
RECOMMENDATION 
 
That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
 
Petitioner’s Official Separation Orders (BUPERS Order:  2189) was issued on “1 July 2019” vice “6 August 2019”.  Note:  Petitioner must resubmit PPM claim and a copy of this Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) decision letter to Household Good Audit Team (HHG-AT) for adjudication.  Furthermore, settlement of claim is chargeable to the line of accounting on Petitioner’s Official Separation Orders (BUPERS Order:  2189). 
                                                             
A copy of this Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner’s naval record.
