	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.  

	Mr. Loren G. Harrell		Director	
	Mr. W. E. Schnupp		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Stanley Kelley		Chairperson	
	Mr. James E. Anderholm		Member	
	Mr. Kenneth L. Wright		Member	

	The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

FINDINGS:

1.  The applicant has exhausted or the Board has waived the requirement for exhaustion of all administrative remedies afforded by existing law or regulations.

2.  The applicant requests that the Social Security Number (SSN) on his          DD Form 214 be corrected.

3.  The applicant states the SSN in Block 3 of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 13 May 1969 is incorrect.  In support of his request, he has provided a copy of his US Army Retired Identification Card showing his correct SSN.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that the DD Form 214 issued to him for service ending on 13 May 1969 show the last four digits of his SSN as …...  He received another DD Form 214 for a subsequent period of service ending on       8 December 1969 but the SSN on that document is correct.  His ID Card and other documents contained in his official record show the last four digits of his SSN as …..  

5.  The applicant retired from active service by reason of physical disability on      1 August 1971.  However, since this order terminated his status on the Temporary Disability Retired List no DD Form 214 was issued.  The order effecting his retirement shows the correct last four digits of his SSN as …...

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant’s DD Form 214 for the period ending 13 May 1969 contains the wrong last four digits of his SSN.  The last four digits should be …. instead of …..

2.  The DD Form 214 for the period ending 13 May 1969 is the only document requiring correction of his SSN.

3.  In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

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

a.  showing the last four digits of the individual’s SSN on DD Form 214 for the period ending 13 May 1969 as …..; and 

	b.  issuing to him a correction of the DD Form 214.
