SSS Board Member Application
Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual - Chapter 520
The Selective Service System (SSS) is seeking applicants to serve as uncompensated members of the SSS Boards. There is no plan to begin inducting
young men into military service at this time. Before inductions could be resumed, a law must be passed by Congress and approved by the President. However,
there is a need to make the SSS ready to operate should it become necessary. Consequently, it is necessary that we select and train citizens who would be
willing to serve if needed.

Completing the attached information sheet does not obligate you to accept an appointment nor does it constitute an offer of an appointment. Each individual
selected for recommendation will be contacted to determine availability. This application is the first step in identifying individuals who are willing to serve as SSS
Board Members.
A.

Eligibility Requirements: In order to be considered for appointment on a Board,
1.

You MUST:
a. be a citizen of the United States;
b. be at least 18 years of age;
c. reside in the county in which the Board has jurisdiction;
d. be able to devote sufficient time to accomplish Board Member duties;
e. be willing to apply the SSS law and Regulations fairly and uniformly; and
f.
be registered with the SSS, if required to do so.

2.

You MAY NOT:
a. be an active or retired member of the Armed Forces or any Reserve Component;
b. have 20 or more cumulative years of prior SSS Board Membership;
c. be employed by public or private enterprise which handles SSS matters;
d. be a member of a law enforcement occupation as defined by SSS policy (example: police officer or judge);
e. be a SSS employee or a spouse of:
i. a compensated or uncompensated employee of the SSS;
ii. a Reserve Officer assigned to the SSS; or
iii. an appointee to any other SSS Board.
f.
have been convicted, forfeited collateral, or are now under changes for a criminal offense, other than a traffic offense with only a
fine of $400.00 or less; except if a conviction is (1) older than 10 years (2) it was for a misdemeanor, and (3) the person has since
displayed outstanding integrity in the community.

B.

Appointment: Local Board Members are appointed by the Director after recommendation by the Governor of their State. District Appeal Board
Members are appointed by the Director upon recommendation of a Region Director. Each SSS Board is composed of five members and membership of
each Board should, to the maximum extent possible, be proportionately representative of the race and national origin of the registrants within its
jurisdiction. No citizen will be denied membership based on gender.

C.

Selection: Individuals are selected by a process which begins with preliminary screening to determine where the basic eligibility requirements are met.
Personal interviews will be conducted with those persons found eligible. A prospective Board Member’s indication of willingness to serve by filling out
the attached form is not a guarantee of a recommendation or a final commitment to serve. Each nominee will sign an Oath of Office and Waiver of Pay
and receive written confirmation of appointment before serving as a Board Member.

D.

Training: Each Board Member may receive approximately five hours initial training in members’ duties and responsibilities, as well as continuation
training consisting of two hours, which may be scheduled yearly. Board Members training may also be kept current by various mailings. If Board
Members are unable to attend three consecutively scheduled training sessions, they will be asked to resign or will be removed from their positions.

E.

Responsibilities: Board Members are responsible for keeping abreast of changing regulations and procedures by attending training and meeting as a
Board as scheduled, as often as necessary, to consider and decide on Registrants’ claim(s) for deferment, exemption and postponement of induction.
Decisions of Local Boards are subject to appeal. Because Board Members are key to the success of the SSS, they are asked to attend all training
sessions and Board meetings.

F.

Remuneration: Board Members receive no pay for serving on the Board. They are, however, reimbursed for authorized travel expenses incurred while
conducting SSS Duties. This includes travel to required training sessions and to Board meetings. Remuneration will occur via Direct Deposit.

G.
