      (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 reimbursement for roughly 2 years of pay deductions for SGLI coverage. 

2.  The Board, consisting of           , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on August 2, 2019 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below 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 1 June 2016, Petitioner arrived to              for duty.

     c.  On 1 June 2016, Petitioner certified an Service-members’ Group Life Insurance Election and Certificate (SGLV-8286) cancelling SGLI coverage. 

CONCLUSION 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of reference (b), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action.  Due to administrative oversight, Petitioner continued to pay premiums after he submitted a signed form to cancel coverage, which was filed in his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). 

RECOMMENDATION 

That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: Petitioner completed a SGLV-8286 cancelling SGLI coverage on 1 June 2016.  Note:  Defense Finance & Accounting Service (DFAS) will complete an audit of Petitioner’s records to determine if Petitioner is due any back pay. 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.
