SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM
Selective Service registration is required by law as the first part of a
fair and equitable system that, if authorized by the President and
Congress, would rapidly provide personnel to the Department of Defense
while at the same time providing for an Alternative Service Program for
conscientious objectors. By registering, a young man remains eligible
for jobs, state-based student aid in 31 states, Federally-funded job
training, and U.S. citizenship for immigrant men.
Federal Law requires nearly all male US citizens and male immigrants, 18 through 25, register with Selective Service.
