I smell BS.
I haven't downloaded the FAFSA yet, but the Wikipedia page about it says that the Selective Service requirement is only for men between 18 and 25. Once you get past 25 I don't think it matters anymore.
Well, actually I think it is not possible to submit it after that.
If you become a citizen after 25, you are not required to have signed up.
What matters is that since he didn't sign up, the penalty is he cannot get any government loans etc;.
I think it does from federal grant money for school? I know it was passed in 1982 registering for selective service my question is in 1982 how old was cut off for registration?
Yeah, but he raises an interesting point in the original post. You register for the Selective Service around your 18th birthday, and not after your 25th, but he was in jail (supposedly) from age 17 to age 26...and men in jail are not supposed to register, only within 30 days after they get out. So if he was in the graybar hotel for the entire period of time that he was liable to register with Selective Service (with no breaks or releases), how’s that handled?
