What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "VA Work-Study Improvement Act," seeks to amend title 38 of the United States Code to improve the existing VA Work-Study program. It expands authorized activities to include work at state or local government agencies or nonprofit organizations that benefit veterans or members of the Armed Forces. The bill also updates the definition of applicable hourly minimum wages to ensure workers receive higher pay based on federal or local standards. Additionally, it requires the implementation of electronic timesheets for recording and approving work hours. Finally, the Secretary is tasked with publishing annual data regarding program participation, demographics, and wages.
