BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

1.  The evidence presented does not demonstrate the existence of a probable error or injustice.  Therefore, the Board determined the overall merits of this case are insufficient as a basis for correction of the records of the individual concerned.

2.  The applicant is advised that a copy of this decisional document, which confirms his current social security number, will be filed in his official military records.  This should serve to clarify any questions or confusion regarding the difference in the social security number recorded in his military records and his current social security number.

		IN THE CASE OF:  

		BOARD DATE:  20 November 2018

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20170004427


APPLICANT'S REQUEST AND STATEMENT:

1.  The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show a Social Security Number (SSN) of .

2.  The applicant states his SSN is  not .

3.  The applicant provides copies of his DD Form 214 and SSN card.

THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:  

1.  Application for correction of military records with supporting document(s):  

* DD Form 214 
* SSN Card

2.  Evidence from the applicant’s service record and Department of the Army and Department of Defense records and systems:

* Official Military Personnel File (OMPF)
* DD Form 4 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document)
* DA Form 428 (Application for Identification Card)
* DA Form 2a (Personnel Qualification Record - Part I) 
* DA Form 2-1 (Personnel Qualification Record - Part II)

REFERENCES:

1.  Title 10, U.S. Code, section 1552(b), provides that applications for correction of military records must be filed within 3 years after discovery of the alleged error or injustice.  This provision of law also allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse an applicant's failure to timely file within the 3-year statute of limitations if the ABCMR determines it would be in the interest of justice to do so.  

2.  Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents), as then in effect, prescribed the separation documents that must be prepared for Soldiers on retirement, discharge, release from active duty service, or control of the Active Army.  It established standardized policy for preparing and distributing the DD Form 214 and stated the block 3 (Social Security Number) entry will be taken from the enlistment documents and verified from the Personnel Qualification Record.

DISCUSSION:

1.  While the applicant did not file within the time frame provided in the statute of limitations, the ABCMR has elected to conduct a substantive review of this case and, only to the extent relief, if any, is granted, has determined it is in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant's failure to timely file.  In all other respects, there are insufficient bases to waive the statute of limitations for timely filing.

2.  The applicant served on active duty from 8 April 1987 through 1 July 1991.

3.  All of the official military documents, including the DD Form 4, DA Form 428, DA Form 2a, 	DA Form 2-1, and the DD Form 214, show the applicant's SSN as .  

4.  The SSN card he provided shows an SSN of .

5.  The applicant provides a SSN card that is significantly different from the SSN utilized during his period of service and the number on this card does not match the applicant's requested SSN correction.  The applicant served under the SSN  for his entire period of active duty.
