PART 1642_CLASSIFICATION OF REGISTRANTS DEFERRED BECAUSE OF HARDSHIP TO 
DEPENDENTS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1642.3  Basis for classification in Class 3-A.

    (a) In Class 3-A shall be placed any registrant:
    (1) Whose induction would result in extreme hardship to his wife 
when she alone is dependent upon him for support; or
    (2) Whose deferment is advisable because his child(ren), parent(s), 
grandparent(s), brother(s), or sister(s) is dependent upon him for 
support; or
    (3) Whose deferment is advisable because his wife and child(ren), 
parent(s), grandparent(s), brother(s), or sister(s) are dependent upon 
him for support.
    (b) In its consideration of a claim by a registrant for 
classification in Class 3-A, the board will first determine whether the 
registrant's wife, child(ren), parent(s), grandparent(s), brother(s), or 
sister(s) is dependent upon the registrant for support. Support may be 
financial assistance, personal care or companionship. If financial 
assistance is the basis of support, the registrant's contribution must 
be a substantial portion of the necessities of the dependent. Under most 
circumstances 40 to 50% of the cost of the necessities may be considered 
substantial. If that determination is affirmative, the board will 
determine whether the registrant's induction would result in extreme 
hardship to his wife when she is the only dependent, or whether the 
registrant's deferment is advisable because his child(ren), parent(s), 
grandparent(s), brother(s), or sister(s) is dependent upon him for 
support, or because his wife and his child(ren), parent(s), 
grandparent(s), brother(s), or sister(s) are dependent upon him for 
support. A deferment is advisable whenever the registrant's induction 
would result in hardship to his dependents.
    (c) The registrant's classification shall be determined on the basis 
of the written information in his file, oral

statements, if made by the registrant at his personal appearance before 
a board, and oral statements, if made by the registrant's witnesses at 
his personal appearances.
