Government Drops Plan to Ease Up on Draft Skippers
Published Date: 7/15/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The Office of Personnel Management is canceling a plan to change how they decide if someone purposely skipped signing up for the Selective Service. This means no new rules will affect people who didn’t register, keeping things as they are for now. If you’re a guy who needs to register, nothing’s changing about how this impacts your job chances or benefits.

No Change to Selective Service Bar
The Office of Personnel Management withdrew the proposed rule that was published on February 7, 2024, which would have changed how they decide if someone knowingly and willfully failed to register with the Selective Service System. This withdrawal means the current procedures remain in place and nothing new will change how failing to register affects federal appointment eligibility or related benefits for those required to register.
