Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) work-study students would get higher pay and more job options.
Students in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Work-Study program would get more job options and higher pay. Veterans and service members in the program would see more job opportunities and potentially higher pay. The VA would be required to ensure they get the best available minimum wage and use electronic timesheets. These changes would take effect starting January 1, 2028.
Today, VA Work-Study activities are more limited, and the minimum wage calculation follows existing law. Timesheets are not required to be electronic, and detailed program data is not published annually. After this bill, participants would have more job options. They could also get potentially higher wages. These wages would be based on the highest local, state, or federal minimum. They would also use electronic timesheets. The VA would also publish annual reports on the program.
