 Registration is a requirement for employment by the federal government and some state governments, as well as for receiving various state benefits such as driver's licenses.Refusing to register can also cause a loss of eligibility for federal financial aid for college.On December 1, 1989, Congress ordered the Selective Service System to put in place a system capable of drafting "persons qualified for practice or employment in a health care and professional occupation", if such a special-skills draft should be ordered by Congress.
