Selective Service requirements:

The only process now in effect is that men, between the ages of 18 through 25, register with Selective Service and keep their registration record current during that period.  Neither the Military Selective Service Act nor the Presidential proclamation provide an exemption from registration because of a man’s mental or physical condition unless certain criteria are met. The requirements for exemption are:

• If a man is placed in a hospital, nursing home, long-term care facility, or mental institution on or before his 18^th birthday, had no breaks of institutionalization of 30 days or longer, and remained institutionalized until his 26^th birthday, he is not required to register.
• If he is confined to home, whether his own or someone else’s (including group homes), on or before his 18^th birthday and cannot leave the home without medical assistance (for example, by ambulance, or with the help of a nurse or EMT), and remained homebound until his 26^th birthday, he is not required to register.

Proof of the individual’s circumstances must be provided to Selective Service. Once Selective Service has the documentation, a determination is then made by Selective Service as to whether or not the man qualifies for exemption from registration.
