References. Farmworker Bulletin 87-16, "Revised Application of Selective Service Registration Requirements in Section 504 of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) for Individuals 26 years of Age or Older," April 8, 1987. Background. In the implementation of the JTPA, Section 604 Selective Service registration prerequisite for participation in JTPA training, the Department previously recommended to grantees that they confirm registration status of applicants and direct other registration questions by mail to the Selective Service System (SSS). The SSS, in turn, has been responding to these inquiries in the form of advisory opinion letters. On April 9, 1993, the SSS implemented a policy change in the language used in advisory opinion procedures. According to the SSS, the change reflects the agency's view that the decision for determining the nature of a man's failure to register with the SSS rests with the Federal entity dispersing the benefits, rights or training, not the SSS. As a result, the language of the advisory letters has been revised to reflect only that data which is contained in SSS records. Advisory opinion letters have been redesignated as Registration Status Information letters. Examples of the new format are contained in Attachment B. Policy. Section 604 of the Act requires the Department to insure that each male participating in any program under the Act or receiving any assistance or benefit, has not violated section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. App. 453) by not presenting and submitting to registration as required pursuant to such section. Action Required. Grantees shall request proof of SSS registration from all male applicants 18 or older. Queries to the SSS may be made by grantees on behalf of applicants who cannot document their registration. -- [NOTE: Grantees may initiate program services on a provisional basis while awaiting the SSS response. However, grantees will be liable for any disallowed costs which may result from services provided to participants later found ineligible.] The SSS will respond with a Registration Status Information letter indicating the individual's favorable or unfavorable status. Upon receipt of the letter, grantees will provide or continue appropriate services for those applicants who have complied with SSS registration. Grantees will deny or suspend (and recoup costs of) services to those applicants who failed to comply with their SSS registration obligation. Inquiries.

Background: A provision to a final UCX rule published in the Federal Register on October 17, 1988, required the SESAs to send, effective November 16, 1988, notices of claims filed and sub-sequent monetary and nonmonetary determinations to the branches of the military and to individuals separated from the Commis-sioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin-istration (NOAA) and the Coast Guard. SESAs were provided with a list of military addresses via UIPL 19-94. Subsequently, the Army has provided a new address for such notices. Action Required: State Administrators should provide the attached list of military addresses to appropriate staff and advise them to immediately discontinue using the list of military liaison addresses provided in UIPL No. 19-94.
