Assistant Secretary of Labor

SUBJECT: Application of Selective Service Registration Requirements in Section 504 of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA)

1. Purpose. To provide States and service delivery areas (SDAs) with an updated compilation of requirements under JTPA's Section 504, including a minor change in the procedure for obtaining advisory opinions from the Selective Service System (SSS), and more detailed guidelines for newly legalized and other aliens.

2. References.

   b. National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1987, Section 1366; c. September 30, 1983 letter from Joyce A. Kaiser to JTPA Liaisons transmitting a technical assistance guide on options to implement Section 504 of the JTPA; d. April 24, 1984 letter from Patrick J. O'Keefe to JTPA Liaisons, transmitting a Selective Service System (SSS) publication which described the Utah JTPA/SSS Pilot Program. e. Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 2-86 of March 19, 1987.

3. Background. The Selective Service has asked the Department of Labor to reissue in a consolidated format its earlier guidance on the Section 504 registration requirement of the October 1982 Job Training Partnership Act. Given the turnover in personnel at the State and SDA level in the JTPA

system, and the time elapsed since the Department

of Labor’s earlier issuances, consolidation into one TEGL of all material relevant to the Selective Service Registration Program will make it easier for JTPA programs to comply with Section 504 and to train

new staff.

This guidance has included: a September 1983
technical assistance guide (TAG) describing ways to register individuals and to verify registration under the Military Selective Service Act (MSSA); a March 1984 TAG on a State of Utah-SSS joint pilot registration program for applicants seeking JTPA services; and a March 1987 TEGL sent to States to inform the JTPA system of changes to the MSSA which required that JTPA programs determine the past registration status of male JTPA applicants

26 years of age and older.

4. Review of the Basic Registration Requirement under
   Section 504 of JTPA.

a. Section 504 of JTPA requires that all participants under JTPA be in compliance with Selective Service registration under the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq.) as a condition for participating in JTPA if otherwise eligible for the program.

Section 3(a) of the MSSA requires that male
citizens of the United States and other male
persons residing in the United States who are
between the ages of 18 and 26, present themselves for Selective Service registration at times and places determined by the President. The attached “Who Must Register” chart provides additional information on the registration requirement.

Presidential Proclamation 4771 of July 2, 1980, requires that male persons born after December 31, 1959, who have attained their 18th birthday, register with Selective Service. The time for registration is within 30 days of a man’s 18th birthday. Failure to register timely does not relieve a man of his duty to register. The duty to register, even if late, remains until age 26.

The primary place for registration is any U.S.
Post Office. If a male citizen of the United
States is residing outside the United States, he may register at any U.S. Consulate or Embassy.

The registration requirement does not apply to any male alien lawfully admitted to the United States as a non-immigrant under Section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and who lawfully remains in the United States as a non-immigrant. All other aliens, including undocumented (illegal) aliens, must register. Male aliens born after December 31, 1959, who are between the ages of

18 and 26 must register within 30 days after their entry into the United States if they enter the United States after reaching age 18.

Any male born after December 31, 1959, and who

is subject to the Selective Service registration requirement cannot register after he attains age

26. Any male JTPA applicant who has attained age
    18, but has not yet attained age 26, can mitigate his failure to register timely by presenting himself at a U.S. Post Office or before an official SSS registrar and submitting the information necessary for Selective Service registration.

The Section 504 requirement applies to all
programs under Titles I, II, III, and IV of

JTPA. In 20 CFR 629.1(c), “General Program
Requirements," JTPA regulations for Titles I, II, and III require that recipients ensure all men enrolled in a JTPA program comply with the Selective Service registration requirement. Also, Indian and Native American grantees, authorized to provide job training and employment by Section 401 of JTPA, are required by 20 CFR 632.77(d)(3) of the JTPA regulations to show compliance with Section 504. Programs for migrant and seasonal farmworkers authorized by Section 402 of JTPA

are similarly directed at 20 CFR 637.107(c)

of the regulations to meet the requirements of
Section 504,

Again, males over age 18 and under age 26 must
register (if they had not previously done so within 30 days of reaching age 18) and, thus, may mitigate their earlier failure to comply with the MSSA, simply

by presenting themselves to an official SSS registrar and submitting the necessary information. These men can fill out registration cards at U.S. Post

Offices, or at other authorized Selective Service registration points.

DOL’s 1983 TAG (copy attached), in addition to
providing guidance on how to verify whether an
applicant to JTPA had registered with the SSS,
presented information on how males who had not
complied but were under the age of 26 could
register and, thus, correct their compliance with the MSSA. Once this was completed and verified, JTPA could serve these men (if otherwise

JTPA eligible).

The 1984 DOL TAG (copy attached) described
arrangements whereby JTPA program offices in a
State could be certified by the SSS to serve as uncompensated registrars for Selective Service,

to facilitate registering persons who had not yet done so, and were seeking training and employment under JTPA. A number of JTPA program staffs have been certified as SSS registrars. Additional JTPA program offices wishing to be certified by the Selective Service to take registrations should follow the instructions in this TAG. This will enable programs to quickly meet the SSS registration requirement and enroll males in JTPA activities

if they are otherwise eligible.

c. The draft registration status of male applicants now

26 years of age or older must be determined by JTPA programs, prior to enrolling such applicants into JTPA. In November 1986, the MSSA was amended by a provision contained in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1987, P.L. 99-661. This amendment added a new subsection (g) under Section 12, which required that the registration status of all males born after

December 31, 1959, now be examined and confirmed, as follows:

(g) A person may not be denied a right,
privilege, or benefit under Federal law by reason of failure to present himself for and submit to registration under section 3 if--

"(1) the requirement for the person to so
register has terminated or become inapplicable to the person; and

"(2) the person shows by a preponderance of
the evidence that the failure of the person to register was not a knowing and willful failure to register.”

The Conference Report to the amendment clarified “that a nonregistrant is not to be denied any Federal benefit if he can demonstrate that his failure to register was not knowing or willful." This provision was added “in order not to penalize an individual with an obvious disqualifying handicap, such as total paralysis of the limbs, or an individual who has been honorably discharged from the armed services."

Because of this amendment it became necessary to adjust the JTPA procedures for determining the qualifications of otherwise eligible males 26 years of age and older who were born after December 31, 1959.

d. Guidelines on Alien Male Applicants. Alien males born after December 31, 1959, who entered the United States before attaining their 26th birthday are subject to the registration requirements of the MSSA. Those who enter after attaining their 26th birthday are exempt from the registration requirements. INS Form I-94 (Arrival- Departure Record) and INS Form I-551 (Alien Registration Receipt Card commonly called the “green

card”) held by aliens will show the birth date of the alien.

Also, INS has granted legal status and employment authorization to lawful seasonal agricultural workers (SAWs) and formerly illegal aliens under the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA).

As noted earlier in this directive, the universal Selective Service registration requirement applies to all immigrant male aliens, whether legally admitted to

the United States, newly legalized persons (NLPs) under IRCA, or illegal aliens.

Male aliens who entered the United States illegally and who have not been granted legal immigrant status or employment authorization by the INS, or who are unable to produce INS documentation of their legal status,

cannot be enrolled into JTPA programs, due to the limitation of Section 167(a)(5) of JTPA. This requirement provides:

“Participation . . . under this Act shall be open to citizens and nationals of the United States, lawfully admitted permanent resident aliens, lawfully admitted refugees and parolees, and other individuals authorized by the Attorney General to work in the United States.”

e. Unallowable Costs. All costs associated with the enrollment of any individual found to have violated the MSSA by failing to register are unallowable costs under a JTPA grant. Please consult part 5 of this directive for information on how unregistered JTPA applicants may be authorized by the SSS to enroll, so that the cost of serving them is an allowable cost to JTPA funds.

5. Steps to be followed in determining whether male applicants
   to JTPA satisfy the Section 504 Selective Service

registration requirement, as a condition for participating

in JTPA.

a. For all males. Determine date of birth. The MSSA is not applicable to males born before January 1, 1960.

It is also not applicable to males who have not yet

reached their 18th birthday. It is applicable to all other male applicants born after December 31, 1959.

b. For males who have attained age 18 but have not yet

attained age 26. Verify whether the applicant has

complied with the registration requirement of the MSSA. Verification may be made by inspecting the applicant’s SSS Registration Acknowledgment, or by calling the Selective Service Registration Information Office (1-800-621-5388). JTPA programs wishing to maintain documentation for audit purposes should record the applicant’s SSS registration number, as listed on the Registration Acknowledgment or provided by SSS staff over the "800" line.

Selective Service will send a Registration
Acknowledgment out for all new registrations it receives. Due to the volume of requests, SSS is no longer able to send out written verification followup acknowledgments, to confirm answers provided over the "800" line regarding registrations.

The October 1983 and May 1984 TAGs may be consulted for procedural suggestions, and additional information.

c. For males born after December 31, 1959, who are 26 years of age or older.

(1) Registration with Selective Service should be verified in the manner described in paragraph b. above. This will allow the JTPA program to determine whether a man had complied with

registration, and now meets the JTPA Section 504 requirement.

If the man had complied with registration, no
further action is necessary and an otherwise
eligible male may participate in JTPA programs.

If the man is not registered, the following
additional determination must be made.

(2) Determine whether the applicant has received an honorable discharge from active duty with one of the U.S. military services. Military service must have been on active duty. Reserve duty and National Guard service are not acceptable.

If the applicant served on military active duty but did not receive an honorable discharge or a release under honorable conditions, a determination must be made in accordance with paragraph d. below.

If the applicant served on active duty and
received an honorable discharge or release under honorable conditions, and is otherwise eligible, he may participate in JTPA programs. A copy of the individual’s military discharge document (DD Form 214) should be placed in the intake record.

(3) Determine whether the applicant has a “visible or obvious handicap” that would permanently disqualify him from military service. If a man

has an obvious physical or mental disability, no further action is necessary and an otherwise eligible man may participate in the JTPA program. Appropriate documentation would include a notation of the type of handicap observed by the JTPA program in the individual’s intake record.

If an applicant does not have a visible or obvious handicap that would permanently disqualify him from military service, nor an honorable discharge, and has not complied with Selective Service registration, the procedures in d. below shall be followed. The above determinations may be made in any order deemed appropriate by the JTPA program.

d. Determination of whether an applicant knowingly and

willfully failed to register. The determination of

whether a male applicant knowingly and willfully failed to register as required by the MSSA shall be made by the Selective Service System. Where a JTPA program determines that a male applicant 26 years of age or older who was born on or after January 1, 1960, does not meet any of the qualifications contained in 5.c. above, the male should be advised that an advisory opinion is required from the Selective Service, before he may be determined eligible to participate in

JTPA programs.

There are two ways for an applicant to obtain an advisory opinion:

(1) Call the SSS at 1-800-621-5388, and ask that an “advisory opinion request form" be sent to him. The applicant then fills out the form according

to instructions and returns it to the SSS for a determination.

(2) The applicant may send information necessary for an advisory opinion directly to:

Selective Service System (ADV)
P.O. Box 4638
North Suburban, Illinois 60197-4638

Information necessary for an advisory opinion consists

of:

(1) the applicant’s name;
(2) the applicant’s current address:

(3) the applicant’s date of birth;

(4) (optional) the applicant’s Social Security
Account Number (Applicants may voluntarily
provide this. Under JTPA, the submission of
the Social Security Account Number cannot be
required. However, the Selective Service has
authority under the MSSA to require use of
Social Security Account numbers. Inclusion of
the SSA number will greatly assist Selective
Service in searching for a man’s record. );

(5) a statement that the applicant is requesting an advisory opinion under Section 3. of the Military Selective Service Act; and

(6) the applicant’s explanation as to why he
failed to register with the SSS after reaching
age 18 and before reaching age 26.

(7) (optional) Aliens should include copies of
the INS Form I-551 or I-94, or both, if
available. The SSS will need this information
in order to respond with an advisory opinion.

SDAs and JTPA program operators should not offer advice or direction to individuals when obtaining a statement from the applicant concerning the reasons why he did not comply with the Selective Service registration requirement. Simply tell the applicant to state the reason as he believes it to be true.

Selective Service will generally respond to each advisory opinion request within 30 days of receipt. Where the Selective Service opinion advises that its evidence indicates that the applicant knowingly and willfully failed to register with the SSS as required by law, the applicant is ineligible for JTPA services and cannot be enrolled. Where the SSS opinion advises that the male did not knowingly and willfully fail to register, the applicant should promptly return to JTPA with his advisory opinion. Males with such a Selective Service advisory opinion may, if otherwise eligible, be determined eligible to participate in JTPA programs.

e. Determination whether lawfully admitted aliens have satisfied the Section 504 Selective Service registration requirement.

Aliens who enter the United States lawfully and have INS documents to show employment authorization, can prove their date of birth and age through their INS documents. As noted in Part 4.d. above, all immigrant aliens born after December 31, 1959, who have attained age 18 but have not attained age 26, are subject to the registration requirement of the MSSA. As with all other men subject to registration, their registration status is to be checked prior to enrolling them into JTPA programs. Immigrant aliens, and refugees, parolees, asylees, SAWs, and IRCA-legalized aliens with work permits can be enrolled into JTPA programs once an SSS registration or exemption is established.

All immigrant male aliens and refugees, parolees, asylees, SAWs and IRCA-legalized aliens born after December 31, 1959, who are able to produce INS documentation showing they were, in fact, 26 years

of age or older at the time of entry into the United States are not subject to the MSSA, and may be enrolled in JTPA programs if otherwise eligible. Their INS documents should be photocopied and attached to their JTPA intake record (documenting their age, date of entry into the United States and alien status as immigrant, refugee, parolee, asylee, seasonal

agricultural worker or legalized non-immigrant under the IRCA).

Male aliens 26 years of age or older who entered the United States illegally and who were subsequently granted legal status by the INS or who were born after December 31, 1959, but who are not registered with the SSS can be enrolled into JTPA only after the advisory opinion procedure outlined above in Part 5.d. of this TEGL has been followed. If Selective Service issues an opinion that it has no evidence that such individuals knowingly and willfully failed to register, the individuals can then be enrolled into JTPA. Thus, it is possible for political refugees, asylees, seasonal agricultural workers, and legalized persons under IRCA to receive needed JTPA training and services, once INS has granted them legal status and Selective Service procedures have been followed.

It is important to remember that Section 167(a)(5) of JTPA prohibits participation of an alien without legal status from the INS, even if the Selective Service issues an opinion that there is no evidence to show that the applicant knowingly and willfully failed to register with the SSS.

6. State Action. States shall assure that this updated
   compilation of Selective Service requirements and guidance is provided promptly to all SDAs.

7. Inquiries. Direct questions concerning the guidance letter

Mr. William R. Rushton

Office of Governor George C. Wallace

Montgomery, Alabama 36130

Dear Mr. Rushton:

Section 504 of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) requires that all participants receiving any assistance or benefits under JTPA who are required to register with the Selective Service System pursuant to the requirements of the Military Selective Service Act must be registered. Section 629.1(b) of the regulations implementing

Titles I, II and III requires recipients to ensure that individuals

enrolled in JTPA programs meet the requirements of Section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act.

For your information, on June 29, 1983, the Supreme Court granted an application to stay the order of a U.S. District Court Judge who had held the registration requirement to be unconstitutional. The case before the Supreme Court does not address employment and training programs, but is similar because it requires registration as a prerequisite to receiving education loans.

Although the Supreme Court's order is not a decision on the merits, it has the effect of upholding the validity of the registration requirement until the Court rules on the merits next term.

Therefore, even though the constitutionality of this provision

remains unsettled, we believe that there is no legal basis to delay the implementation of Section 504.

We have developed the enclosed Technical Assistance Guide with the cooperation of the Selective Service System to assist you in

developing procedures to implement this requirement.

If you have any questions on this matter, please call (202) 376-7240.

Sincerely,

JOYCE A. KAISER
Associate Assistant Secretary
for Employment and Training

Enclosure

JOB TRAINING PARTNERSHIP ACT
SECTION 504

U.S. Department of Labor
Employment and Training Administration
Office of Comprehensive Employment and Training

September 1983

Purpose

This Technical Assistance Guide (TAG) is intended to provide information to Governors and Title IV Grantees regarding the Military Selective Service Act (MSSA) and the mandate of Section 504 of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). It contains the legislative requirements under both Acts, procedures for registration, and suggested options for implementing Section 504. These options are suggested ways that the requirement may be implemented primarily through adding one or more steps to application procedures subsequent to eligibility determination.

Information for this TAG has been coordinated with the assistance of the Selective Service System with the hope that it will contribute to the expeditious implementation of Section 504 of JTPA.

PART ONE
Job Training Partnership Act Requirements
I. Background

Section 3(a) of the Military Selective Service Act requires that male citizens of the United States, and other male persons residing in the United States, who are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six must present themselves for registration at such time or times and place or places, and in such manner, as determined by the President. Proclamation 4771 of July 2, 1980, provides that male persons born on or after January 1, 1960, and who have attained their eighteenth birthday (without attaining their twenty-sixth birthday) shall register. The requirement to register does not apply to any alien lawfully admitted to the U.S. as a nonimmigrant under Section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality Act as long as he continues to maintain a lawful nonimmigrant status in the United States.

Section 504 of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) requires that all participants under JTPA be in compliance with the Military Selective Service Act registration requirement. Governors for Titles I, II, and III, and grantees for Title IV, will need to address this requirement after the determination of eligibility for all male persons entering JTPA programs, on or after October 1, 1983.

Requirements under the Job Training Partnership Act

1. Legislative: Section 504, Enforcement of Military
   Selective Service Act, states that:

"The Secretary shall insure that each individual participating in any program established under this Act, or receiving any assistance or benefit under this Act, 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. The Director of the Selective Service System shall

cooperate with the Secretary in carrying out this section." ;

The above requirement applies to all programs under the Job Training Partnership Act under Titles I, II, III, and IV.

2. Regulatory: Implementing regulations for programs
   under Titles I, II, and III of JTPA were issued

March 15, 1983. Section 629.1(b), General Program Requirements, requires that recipients ensure that an individual enrolled in a JTPA program meets the requirements of Section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act.

Section 632.77(d)(3) of the implementing regulations for Indian and Native American Programs, authorized by Section 401 of JTPA, requires Native American grantees to maintain documentation to insure the credibility of the eligibility determination, including compliance with Section 504 of the Act.

Section 637.107(c) of the regulations governing programs for migrant and seasonal farmworkers, authorized by Section 402 of JTPA, requires that "to be eligible for participation, individuals shall meet the requirements of Section 504 of the Act."

PART TWO

Options for Meeting Job Training
Partnership Act Requirements

Several options are available in carrying out responsibilities under Section 504 of the Act and the corresponding sections of the regulations implementing Titles I, II, III, and IV of JTPA. This section is intended to outline these options. Keep in mind, however, that it is not meant to present a comprehensive inventory of all of the available means of implementing Section 504 and the relevant sections of the regulations. The decision on which option(s) should be employed will be made at the State or, in the case of Title IV, at the grantee level.

Important factors to keep in mind are that:

o The Employment and Training Administration does not guarantee the legal adequacy of any of the proposed options discussed in this TAG. The options are merely suggested methods of implementation based on consultations with the Selective Service System.

o The Governor/Grantee may be held liable subject, of course, to the forgiveness criteria set forth at 164(e) for disallowed costs associated with enrollment of participants who are not in compliance with the

requirements of Section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act.

As with other JTPA requirements, the Governor/Grantee is responsible for procedures followed in carrying out requirements related to Selective Service registration. These procedures will be the basis against which compliance with Section 504 of the Act and with the relevant sections of the regulations will be audited. Therefore, in order to

avoid questioned costs, it is recommended that the procedures be:

o clearly communicated in writing;
o simple, uncomplicated and easily implemented; and

o monitored periodically to ensure that they are being implemented properly and consistently.

Procedures for Implementing Section 504

Options for determining compliance with Section 504 range from self-certification after eligibility determination with verification of a sample of participants to requiring verification from the Selective Service System prior to the provision of services. Note that simple self-certification is not presented as an option because the author of Section 504 of the legislation transmitted a letter to the Secretary advising that implementation of this provision should not include simple self-certification. Regardless of the approach chosen in implementing Section 504, Standardized forms should probably be designed (or application forms revised) to record information on registration under the Military Selective Service Act, and standardized instructions developed for reviewing and verifying the information provided on these forms.

1. Determining Compliance. The following are three options
   for determining whether or not participants have complied with Military Selective Service Act requirements:

o Self-Certification With Sample Verification
o Verification of Registration Prior to Enrollment

o Self-Certification Followed by Universal
Verification

o Self-Certification With Sample Verification. Under this option, participants would certify in writing that they are not in violation of Section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act, after being determined eligible for enrollment under JTPA. At some future date, program officials will verify registration through a random sample of participants. The Department of Education (DOE) is currently using this option, with verification over a three year period. This option was chosen because many colleges and schools expressed concerns about the methodology for 100 percent registration verification set forth in the proposed rule published on January 27, 1983 (48 FR 3920). The advantages of this option are its simplicity, and that it provides additional time for recipients to develop verification systems. The disadvantage of this option is that it leaves the recipient vulnerable because verification may, in some

instances, take place after the participant has left the program.

o Verification of Registration Prior to Enrollment. Under this option, each participant required to register with the Selective Service System would show his Registration Acknowledgement Letter before receiving services in any JTPA program. The advantage of this option is that program officials are certain at the time of enrollment that the participant has complied with the Military Selective Service Act requirements. The disadvantages of this option are: (a) it would penalize individuals who turned eighteen shortly before applying for JTPA who had registered but had not yet received a Registration Acknowledgement Letter (it may take up to 90 days for a registrant to receive an Acknowledgement Letter; therefore, a system requiring verification prior to the provision of services may delay the participation of otherwise eligible individuals); and (b) it would hamper efficient program operations particularly in the summer youth program, because of the limited duration of the program.

Self-Certification Followed by Universal Verification. Under this option, the participant would self-certify compliance with the Military Selective Service Act, and provide a copy of his Registration Acknowledgement Letter subsequent to enrollment. In view of the delays that could be involved through requiring verification prior to provision of services, a system combining self- certification with follow-up verification should be considered to avoid this problem. The advantage of this option is that, by clearly spelling out the procedure beforehand, and promptly terminating participants who do not meet verification requirements, audit exceptions can be minimized. The disadvantage of this approach is that

it may inflate the program's nonpositive termination rate.

Documenting Compliance: Suggested Options for documenting compliance with Section 504 are fairly simple and straightforward.

o Include on Regular Intake Form: The application form could be designed to Include a section dealing with Selective Service Registration information. The specific information that would be required here would depend on the procedures developed to implement Section 504. If the procedures require verification prior to provision of services, the intake worker would indicate on the application form the registration number from the participant's Acknowledgement Letter from the Selective Service System or attach a copy. If the procedures require only self- certification, the application form might include questions designed to determine whether the individual is required to register with the Selective Service System, and whether or not he has in fact registered. Upon signing the form, the participant

would be certifying that the information provided is correct.

o Develop Separate Form: A separate form could be developed that would be filled out only by male participants born on or after January 1, 1960, who are at least 18 years old. This form could state the requirement of the Military Selective Service Act and follow the same procedures as outlined above.

o Maintain Acknowledgement Letter: A copy of the Registration Acknowledgement Letter could be a part of the official file of a participant required to register with the Selective Service System. (This would be an option only if the procedures for enforcing Section 504 included the requirement that participants produce a copy of the Acknowledgement Letter.)

Dear Mr. Rushton:

On September 30, 1983, we issued a Technical Assistance Guide to assist States in developing procedures to implement Section 504 of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). One option provided in the guide involved verification of registration prior to enrollment.

States implementing this option have encountered some administrative difficulties. Enrollment of some applicants is being delayed because they are unable to provide appropriate documentation substantiating that they have complied with the requirement to register. Some applicants have not registered, while others have not received or are unable to locate their Registration Acknowledgement Letters. The time required to furnish a large number of registrants with additional documentation from the Selective Service System (SSS) for verification purposes is delaying the enrollment of a substantial number of registration-age men into JTPA.

To alleviate the administrative difficulties that have emerged from this process, the State of Utah and the SSS developed and implemented a pilot program to facilitate implementation of Section 504 of JTPA. The SSS is making this option available to all States that wish to participate. The SSS will designate JTPA officials as registrars in States that wish to participate in the program. Receipt of a properly completed registration card by an SSS-designated official will serve as sufficient evidence of SSS registration to permit an otherwise qualified individual to participate in the JTPA program.

Enclosed for your information and use is the SSS publication that describes the Utah JTPA/SSS Pilot Program and information guidelines. Also enclosed is a list of Selective Service Regions as contact points for States that wish to pursue this option.

It has also come to our attention that the U.S. Postal Service has been receiving an increasing number of requests from program operators asking it to verify that applicants for JTPA participation have registered with SSS. The U.S. Postal Service cannot comply with these requests. Rather, verification can be obtained by calling the SSS toll-free number, 1-800-621-5388, and giving the individual's full name, Social Security number and date of birth.

If you wish to participate in the optional procedure developed in the Pilot Program, please contact the appropriate regional SSS office. Also, Please advise all local JTPA service delivery areas in your

State of the U.S. Postal Service and toll-free number information. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Sincerely,

PATRICK J. O'KEEFE

The Honorable Raymond J. Donovan

Dear Mr. Secretary:

In recent months the Selective Service System (SSS) has developed an optional program specifically designed to facilitate the implementation of the registration provision in Section 504 of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). Some states are requiring verification of registration prior to enrollment and some administrative

difficulties have emerged. The program we have available will be particularly beneficial to these states.

The SSS will designate benefit officials as registrars in states wanting to

participate in the program. Receipt of a properly completed Registration Card by a designated JTPA official will serve as sufficient evidence of SSS registration to permit an otherwise qualified individual to participate in the JTPA program.

Initial coordination with members of your staff has already begun. We are

confident that the program offered will alleviate the problems surfacing with verifying that JTPA applicants have met the registration requirement.

Sincerely,

Thomas K. Turnage

JTPA PROGRAM

I. Program Background

Section 504 of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) requires that all persons receiving assistance/benefits, who are required to register with the Selective Service System (SSS), must be registered. Section 629.1(b) of the Department of Labor (DoL) regulations implementing Titles I, II and III requires delivering agents to ensure that persons enrolled in JTPA programs meet the requirements articulated in Section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act.

On September 30, 1983, the DoL disseminated to respective states technical

assistance guidelines that were developed with input from SSS. This guidance was

needed because the states were delegated the responsibility to ensure that the registration provision in the JTPA was met. The primary purpose of the guidelines is to assist states in developing procedures to implement Section 504 of the JTPA.

One option provided in the guidelines is to require proof of registration when making application for JTPA benefits.

In an effort to alleviate registration verification problems encountered in the State of Utah, a pilot program was developed and implemented. Evaluation feedback received from this undertaking was very positive. The problems initially faced were eliminated and the intent of the Solomon Amendment included in the JTPA was accomplished. Based on the success experienced in this statewide initiative,

the decision was made to replicate the program in other states expressing a need to resolve similar problems.

II. Problem Statement

Some administrative difficulties that are directly related to verifying a potential JTPA participant has complied with the registration requirement are emerging in several states. Some applicants are being denied participation in the program because they are unable to provide appropriate documentation substantiating they have complied with the requirement to register. Some of these applicants have not

registered and others have not received or are unable to locate their Acknowledgment Letters.

If a potential participant in the JTPA program is unable to provide proof of registration, he must register and wait for an Acknowledgment Letter or acquire appropriate documentation from SSS. The time required to furnish a large number of registrants with additional documentation from SSS for verification purposes is

preventing a substantial number of registration age men from being accepted into the JTPA program.

III. Program Objectives

Specific objectives have been developed to provide clear direction in the JTPA program design. These objectives are targeted at identified problems presently being experienced by JTPA officials in verifying applicants have registered with SSS.

A. To register JTPA applicants at intake centers in service delivery areas.

B. To obtain appropriate documentation from JTPA applicants that ensures compliance with the registration provision.

IV. Program Description

This program will be conducted in JTPA service delivery areas within the states. The State Director/Region Director will serve as the contact point for SSS and the JTPA state liaison official will serve in the same capacity for the state. To initiate program activities, the State Director/Region Director will meet with the state JTPA liaison official to fully discuss the implementation of the statewide effort and deliver registration materials. Emphasis will be placed on the implementation guidelines set forth in Section V of this program.

The state liaison official will redistribute registration materials among the service delivery areas. Materials will be distributed among respective intake centers charged with the responsibility for verifying that an applicant for JTPA assistance is registered with SSS. Persons administering the JTPA at intake centers will be appointed to registrar positions. Such persons will maintain control of all registration materials received and supervise the completion of forms. On a weekly basis, completed forms will be forwarded to SSS for processing.

Precautionary measures will be taken by those responsible at JTPA intake centers to ensure the program is operated in conformance with established guidelines. Registration forms should only be completed after all reasonable efforts to acquire proof have been taken. For example, some applicants may have proof but fail to bring it with them when applying for JTPA benefits. Such applicants should be instructed to obtain and provide their proof as soon as possible. Applicants who cannot provide acceptable proof will be permitted to complete and submit registration forms for subsequent processing.

All JTPA service delivery areas will request additional registration materials from the state liaison officer. If more materials are needed at the state level, the state liaison officer will contact the SSS State Director or Region Headquarters.

The SSS will receive completed registration forms from intake centers on a weekly basis for processing. Forms received will be keyed and automatically matched to the registration data base. All forms received will be processed as a registration, if not already registered, or as an address update if already registered.

All registration forms utilized in this program will be coded and mailed to a designated SSS address to facilitate handling. Forms will be coded prior to

forwarding them to the state JTPA liaison officer for distribution to service delivery areas.

V. Implementation Guidelines

The information presented below sets forth the guidelines established for the JTPA program in various states.

A. Program Materials and Supplies

1. Quantities of the Registration Form (SSS Form 1) and the information
   brochure "Selective Service and You" (SSS Brochure 10) will be supplied by National Headquarters. These materials will be requested by the Region Director from the Registration Division.

2. All posters, pass-outs or other display pieces required must be requested

from the Government and Public Affairs Office in National Headquarters.

3. Region Headquarters will provide any other materials required.
   B. Identification of Registration Forms

All registration forms completed as the result of this program will be precoded U T 1 in red. This code will be placed in the upper right hand corner of the "Do Not Write In The Above Space" block. (See attachment A)

C. Registration Process

JTPA officials should make every effort to obtain proof of registration from

applicants. If an applicant is unable to locate proof, he should then be asked to complete a registration form for processing.

A JTPA official(registrar) must conduct each registration and validate each form by initialing and dating in the lower right hand corner of the registration form. The appropriate I.D. block must be checked. Each registrant will be given a copy of the publication "Selective Service and You." All blank

registration forms must remain in personal control of the JTPA officials. (See attachment B)

D. Distribution of Completed Forms

Completed forms will be forwarded to SSS at the end of each week. All completed forms will be mailed in envelopes to the address below:

Selective Service System (JTPA)
P.O. Box 4632
North Suburban, IL 60198

E. Processing and Reports

1. The SSS Data Management Center will employ appropriate procedures
   that will prevent duplicate registrations. Duplicate registrations identified will not be entered into the Master File, but will be utilized to update the registrant's record.

2. The SSS Data Management Center will provide the Registration Division
   in National Headquarters with a monthly statistical report. This report will indicate the total number of coded registration forms received and the number of duplicate registration forms identified.

F. Ordering Materials

The JTPA state liaison officer will request registration materials from the

SSS State Director or Region Director. The Region Director will request materials from National Headquarters.

G. Questions on Registration

All questions regarding registration should be directed to SSS Registration Information Office. This can be accomplished by calling 1-800/621-5388.

H. Appointment of Registrars

JTPA officials involved in this program will be appointed to uncompensated registrar positions. The Uncompensated Registrar Appointment Form 402 will be utilized in accordance with instruction provided in the procedural

directive. The original copy of each SSS Form 402 will be maintained in Region Headquarters.
