The procedures quoted below are from Amy Rosewater's IN article re Jason Brown, so the wording is for the men's discipline.
(But I'm guessing that the same procedures will be used for all disciplines??)
Newly (AFAIK) included in the selection procedures this year:
~ 6. Challenger series international competitions during the current season
~ 8. Most recent Olympic Winter Games

According to the World Team Selection Procedures outlined by U.S. Figure Skating, a committee will meet following the conclusion of the men's competition to determine the makeup of the U.S. world team. In addition to the U.S. champion (as long as he is eligible), the remaining spots will be determined as follows:
1. Most recent U.S. Figure Skating Championships
2. Most recent Grand Prix Final
3. Most recent World Figure Skating Championships
4. Most recent Grand Prix Series competitions
5. Most recent Four Continents Figure Skating Championships
6. Challenger series international competitions during the current season
7. Previous season's U.S. championships
8. Most recent Olympic Winter Games
9. Most recent world junior championships
10. Most recent Junior Grand Prix Final
"Consideration will be given to add additional athletes/teams to the pool by reviewing the events above in priority order and adding others due to extenuating circumstances as approved by the respective International Committee Discipline Group," the document reads. Injuries are listed as potential considerations.
