Thanks. This is what I have so far (but I'll bet that it is rarely enforced). There's a link at the bottom of my post that tells you what state laws (if any) are in effect in your state. Some benefits, both at the state and federal level, are denied to men who are not registered.

Who Is Required To Register? - Undocumented (illegal) aliens [among others also listed].

Am I required to give my Social Security Number when I register with Selective Service? - If you have a Social Security number, you are required to provide it.  However, you are not required to have a Social Security number to register with Selective Service.

What is the penalty for not registering? - If you do not register, you could be prosecuted and fined up to $250,000 and/or be put in jail for up to five years. Registration is also a requirement to qualify for Federal student aid, job training benefits, and most Federal employment.

What Happens if I Don't Register? - Registration is the law. A man who fails to register may, if prosecuted and convicted, face a fine of up to $250,000 and/or a prison term of up to five years. Even if not tried, a man who fails to register with Selective Service before turning age 26 may find that some doors are permanently closed, such as:

• Citizenship - The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) makes registration with Selective Service a condition for U.S. citizenship if the man first arrived in the U.S. before his 26th birthday.).

• Student Financial Aid - Men, born after December 31, 1959, who aren't registered with Selective Service won't qualify for Federal student loans or grant programs. This includes Pell Grants, College Work Study, Guaranteed Student/Plus Loans, and National Direct Student Loans.

• Federal Job Training - The Workforce Investment Act (formerly called the Job Training Partnership Act - JTPA) offers programs that can train young men for jobs in auto mechanics and other skills. This program is only open to those men who register with Selective Service. This applies only to men born after December 31, 1959.

• Federal Jobs - A man must be registered to be eligible for jobs in the Executive Branch of the Federal government and the U.S. Postal Service. This applies only to men born after December 31, 1959.

  Some states have added additional penalties for those who fail to register. See State Legislation.

State Legislation [States with laws tied to Selective Service registration.] - States with legislation include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virgin Islands, Virginia,  West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Good Link !!....glad to see some states are requiring SS registration (for illegals) re: student loans & drivers license. I just *hope* states are enforcing these laws.
I wonder *if anyone* checks SS Reg. on the thousands of illegals given amnesties on the 245(1) bill that our gov't keeps extending the deadline on ??

I don't think I've ever read about any illegal getting charged for not being registered with SS. Just another one of US laws not enforced against illegals, I guess.

Re: my son's card.....One part had his name, SS#, dob, & date registered.....at the bottom it says 'safeguard this card'......the other part only has his SS# & his 'registered date' on it. Neither card says "it must be carried". I wish I could locate the letter that came with the cards, I'll keep looking, but it's in a 'tipical teenagers' room.
