Bill overview
This bill, the VA Work-Study Improvement Act, aims to strengthen the Department of Veterans Affairs’ work-study program. It expands the types of work activities eligible for the program to include services for state, local, and nonprofit organizations that benefit veterans and military members. The bill also updates minimum wage requirements, ensuring that work-study participants receive at least the highest of the federal minimum wage, the state minimum wage, or the local government minimum wage. Finally, it requires the VA to implement electronic timesheet tracking and annually publish data on program participation, demographics, and wages.
