RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-00033 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: She be given two years and two months of active duty service credit, and her retirement pay be increase accordingly because she retired under the Temporary Early Authority (TERA) and worked as a social worker after her retirement. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She turned 62 years old in 2014, and the Fiscal Year 1993 National Defense Authorization Act (FY93 NDAA), PL 102-84 § 4464, as described on her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, authorizes her requested increase in pay. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 23 Nov 76. On 1 Oct 94, the applicant retired after serving 17 years, 10 months, and 8 days of total active service, with a narrative reason for separation on her DD Form 214 of “Voluntary Retirement – Temporary Early Release Authority.” Block 18 of her DD Form 214 states “Member is retiring as provided by Section 4483 of the FY93 National Defense Authorization Act (PL102-84) and may qualify for a recomputation of retired pay at age 62 pursuant to Section 4464 of the same law.” The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is included at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOR recommends granting, indicating there is no evidence of an error or injustice. The FY93 NDAA (Public Law 102-484) enacted TERA permitting selected military members to retire early. Section § 4464 of said law allowed eligible members who retired early under TERA to perform public and community service following retirement and receive credit for their service to recompute their military pay, and where applicable, the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) base amount once the retired member attains the age of 62. Only qualifying employment which occurred between the date of the member’s retirement and the date the member would have reached 20 years of total active service can be credited. The NDAA allowed members retiring under TERA to register on the Public and Community Service Registry in advance of their projected retirement date. The law allowed no provision for retroactive registration. Further, Air Force implementing guidance required that the member initiate the registration process prior to applying for early retirement, the registration “MUST BE CONFIRMED” before members were permitted to out process, and proof of qualifying service must be turned into the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) not later than one year after the member would have attained 20 years of active service. The applicant retired 1 Oct 94. Any creditable service must have been completed prior to 23 Nov 96, and the applicant was required to submit her record of creditable service to DMDC by 23 Nov 97. The applicant provided documentation showing she completed public or community service between 1 Oct 94 and 23 Nov 96. However, the DMDC has no evidence the applicant completed the proper documentation for the program. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR 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 17 Mar 15 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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. We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case. While the Board notes the comment from AFPC/DPSOR indicating the applicant completed public or community service between 1 Oct 94 and 23 Nov 96, the Board is not persuaded an error or an injustice occurred because the applicant did not submit documentation which established her participation in the program was confirmed prior to her retirement, or that she provided her approved service to DMDC in 1997 as required by the program. The Board has consistently denied requests for active duty service credit under the program where applicants have not been officially enrolled in or complied with documentation requirements. 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.
