So, how many other times has this been done in the last two decades?
What? Someone deciding to enforce a law? All the time.
I may be wrong but I thought you had to put your Selective Service number on student loan applications.
Take your snarking to the Pit where it belongs. This is in GQ, you’ll note, not GD. I don’t want a debate. I’m asking a simple question, with a factual answer.
Let me be blunt and clear for the less accomplished readers:
**On Oct. 28, the SSS filed a notice in the federal register to check the computer records of the Department of Education in order to ensure that all students receiving federal financial aid are registered with Selective Service.
Former Reagan Assistant Defense Secretary Lawrence Korb, who was quoted in the article, says that the procedure (of checking the records of the Department of Education in order to ensure that all students receiving federal financial aid are registered with Selective Service) is not done annually.
If the procedure (of checking the records of the Department of Education in order to ensure that all students receiving federal financial aid are registered with Selective Service) is not done annually, then how often during the past two decades has the SSS gone through the procedure (of checking the records of the Department of Education in order to ensure that all students receiving federal financial aid are registered with Selective Service)?**
I doubt anyone here has the information you want. The cross-checking with the educational financial aid records is a bureaucratic function that probably receives little or no publicity.
Why not contact the Selective Service System?
Required notices in the Federal Register appear on:

I hereby eat my words, and tip my hat to Duckster. 
Fantastic! Thank you.
