RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2020-00633

XXXXXXXX	COUNSEL: NONE

	HEARING REQUESTED: NO 

APPLICANT’S REQUEST

The social security number (SSN) on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected.

APPLICANT’S CONTENTIONS

The SSN on his DD Form 214 is incorrect.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

The applicant is a former Regular Air Force sergeant (E-4), who served honorably from 16 Sep 65 to 23 Sep 68.

We attempted to obtain copies of his Master Human Resource Records from the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC); however, they were not available.  There is insufficient documentation to confirm the applicant entered/served under any SSN except what is shown on his DD Form 214.

APPLICABLE AUTHORITY

AFI 36-2608, Military Personnel Records System, Table A7.1 (Correcting SSN in Records), provides as follows:  Do not correct records of former Airmen unless evidence proves the SSN used while serving with the Air Force was incorrect or erroneously recorded.  Required proof is an unaltered original document from the Social Security Administration (SSA), showing the applicant’s name, the old or erroneous SSN, and the new or correct SSN.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant exhausted all available non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3.  After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board concludes the applicant is the victim of an error.  The Board finds the applicant’s SSN used while serving with the Air Force was incorrect or erroneously recorded.  Therefore, the Board recommends correcting the applicant’s records as indicated below.

RECOMMENDATION

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that the DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, issued in conjunction with the 23 Sep 68 discharge, be changed in Item 3, Social Security Number, to reflect XXX-XX-XXXX.
