It said, “Parents, if your son is an only son and the last male in your family to carry the family name, he is still required to register with SSS.”Parents, if your son is an only son and the last male in your family to carry the family name, he is still required to register with SSS.

The SSS database would be used in case a military draft was introduced.According to the SSS website, this includes “all male US citizens and male immigrants, who are 18 through 25.”This includes, “Individuals who are born female and have changed their gender to male.” It does not include trans men (people assigned female at birth who later transitioned).These criteria have been in place since before the Biden administration came to power.
