Expanded Work-Study Eligibility for Student Veterans: Half-Time Status Allowed.
This Act establishes a five-year pilot program to broaden access to the VA work-study allowance for student veterans. The key change allows veterans pursuing education or training at a minimum of half-time status to qualify, whereas previously a higher course load was required. This expansion provides financial support and valuable work experience to a larger group of veterans while they study.
Key points
Veterans studying at least half-time can now qualify for the VA work-study allowance under a new pilot program.
The five-year program aims to increase financial support and employment opportunities for more student veterans.
Annual reports are required detailing participant success, including degree attainment and full-time employment at the VA.
