To:    Secretary of the Navy  

Ref:  (a) Title 10 U.S.C. §1552 
      (b) VINST 1900.4 of 2 Jan 13 
      (c) MILSPERMAN 1920-050 

Encl: (1) DD Form 149 w/attachments 
      (2) Subject’s naval record 

1.  Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a) Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval record be corrected to receive Involuntary Separation Payment (ISP) and correction to IRR form. 

2.  The Board, consisting of      , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on April 23, 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, finds as follows: 

a.  Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy. 

b.  On January 2, 2018, Petitioner signed NAVPERS 1070/613 (enlisted involuntary separation payment) vice signing the officers NAVPERS 1070/613 concerning ISP. 

c.  On January 2, 2018, Petitioner is discharged with Honorable character of service.  DD Form 214 block 26, Separation Code “JGB”, block 28, Narrative Reason for Separation “Non-Selection, Permanent Promotion,” block 18 did not indicate required separation payment information. 

d.  On October 29, 2019, BCNR Docket No. 3396-19 directed that Petitioner’s record be corrected with no break in service and reflect entry in USNR effective January 3, 2018. 

CONCLUSION 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action. Petitioner met the basic eligibility criteria to receive full ISP in accordance with reference (b).  However, the Board concluded, Petitioner was not afforded the opportunity to complete the requirements of reference (b) to received ISP.  Although the proper administrative requirements were not completed, the Board felt that under these circumstances, full relief is warranted.
 
RECOMMENDATION 

That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 

Petitioner, in coordination with his command completed the required NAVPERS 1070/613, Administrative Remarks prior to January 2, 2018 discharge and submitted it to Commander, Navy Personnel Command for inclusion in the Petitioner’s Official Military Personnel File. 

Petitioner was authorized payment of “full” Involuntary Separation Pay (ISP) based on his 
January 2, 2018 discharge.  Note:  The aforementioned separation pay will be offset by any Veterans Disability Compensation to which Petitioner is or becomes entitled. 

Note: Payment of non-disability full (10%) or half (5%) separation pay is authorized to the member who has entered into a written agreement with Navy Personnel Command, prior to separating from active duty, to serve in the Ready Reserve for a period of not less than 3-years immediately following separation from active duty.  This 3-year service obligation is in addition to any other remaining service obligation.  Evidence of the Petitioner’s commitment to this additional obligated service must be included in the Petitioner’s record prior to the release of Involuntary Separation Pay (ISP).  Navy Personnel Command, however, determines additional obligated service. 

Petitioner issued DD Form 215 correcting block 18 of DD Form 214 issued effective January 2, 2018. 

A copy of this Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner’s naval record. 

4.  It is certified that quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above entitled matter.
