You''ll earn an hourly
wage equal to the Federal minimum wage or your State minimum wage, whichever is greater. If you''re in a work-study job at a college or university, your school may pay you the difference between the amount
VA pays and the amount the school normally pays other work-study students doing the same job as you.
You may elect to be paid in advance for 40 percent of the
number of hours in your work-study agreement, or for 50 hours, whichever is less. After you''ve completed the hours covered by your first payment, VA will pay you each time you complete 50 hours of service.
You may
work during or between periods of enrollment. You can arrange with VA to work any number of hours you want during your enrollment. But, the total number of hours you work can''t be more than 25 times the number of weeks in your
enrollment period.
What type of work will I do?
Services you perform under a VA work-study program must be related to VA work. Examples of acceptable work are: Processing VA paperwork at schools or VA offices
Performing outreach
Services under the supervision of a VA employee
