AGREEMENT NUMBER:

PRIVACY ACT INFORMATION: VA will not disclose information collected by this information collection to any source other than what has been authorized by the Privacy Act of 1974 or Title
38 Code of Federal Regulations 1.576 for routine uses as identified in VA’s system of records, 58VA21/22/28, Compensation, Pension, Education and Vocational Rehabilitation Records - VA as
published in the Federal Register at http://www.rms.oit.va.gov/SOR_Records/58VA21_22.asp. An example of a routine use allows VA to send educational forms or letters with a veteran’s
identifying information to the veteran’s school or training establishment to (1) assist the veteran in the completion of claims forms or (2) for VA to obtain further information as may be necessary
from the school for VA to properly process the veteran’s education claim or to monitor his or her progress during training. Your obligation to respond is required to obtain or retain benefits. We
cannot pay you any VA work-study benefits until we receive this information (38 U.S.C. 3485). Your responses are confidential (38 U.S.C. 5701). Any information provided by applicants,
recipients, and others may be subject to verification through computer matching programs with other agencies.
RESPONDENT BURDEN: We need this information to determine your acceptance of the VA work-study terms shown on this information collection. Title 38 United States Code allows us to
ask for this information. We estimate that you will need an average of 5 minutes to review the instructions, find the information and complete the form. VA cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information unless a valid OMB control number is displayed. Valid OMB control numbers can be located on the OMB Internet Page at
www.whitehouse.gov/omb/library/OMBINV.VA.EPA.html#VA. If desired, you can call 1-888-GI-BILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) to get information on where to send comments or suggestions about
this information collection.

NOTE: VA will complete the hourly rate item below with the federal minimum wage or your State minimum wage rate, whichever is greater.
If you have questions concerning this hourly rate, contact your nearest VA office at 1-800-827-1000.
I,
(student), agree to perform
hours of service for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
during
the
period
starting
on
or
about
and
ending
no
later
than
(agreement period), in consideration of which VA agrees to pay me a total of $
, subject to the following terms, conditions
and representations:
1. VA will designate and assign the services to be performed by me at various times during the agreement period and my performance will be
subject to VA supervision.
2. While performing such services, I (a) will not be considered an employee of the United States for the purposes of laws administered by the
Office of Personnel Management, but I will be considered such an employee for the purpose of receiving benefits under the provisions of
chapter 81 of title 5, U.S.C. (Compensation for Work Injuries); (b) will not receive or accept compensation from any other source for the
same hours of work performed under this agreement; and (c) will not disclose to anyone any information contained in VA files, records,
reports, and other documents made available to me while performing such services except as provided by the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C.
552a), pertinent provisions of title 38, U.S.C., and supplementary regulations.
3. In return for my services under this agreement, VA will pay me a work-study allowance at the rate of $
for each hour of service I
satisfactorily perform under this agreement. (In no event may I perform more hours of service than the product of 25 times the number of
weeks in my actual period(s) of enrollment during the agreement period.)
4. Upon VA acceptance of this agreement, payment for any hours performed under this agreement will be made upon completion of each 50
hours of such services, or the balance if less than 50 hours, with final payment upon fulfillment of all services covered by this agreement.
5. As a basic requirement for eligibility to receive this work-study allowance, a student must be enrolled in a program of rehabilitation,
education, or training under laws administered by VA at a rate equal to at least three-quarters of that required of a full-time student. By
signing this agreement, I certify that I will meet this requirement. In the event that I cease to be at least a three-quarter-time student or
terminate school attendance before completing this agreement, I agree to immediately provide written notice of that fact to VA. For the
purposes of this agreement, terminating school attendance includes failing to enroll (or reenroll) for any regularly scheduled semester,
quarter, or term of the ordinary school year or any session of a summer term during the agreement period on which performance of
work-study is based.
6. Unless VA directs otherwise, upon my reduction in training time or termination of school attendance as described in paragraph 5, I will no
longer be entitled to perform and will cease performing services under this agreement, and I will reimburse or return to VA any payment
made to me as payment for services performed after the date of such reduction or termination. If I reduce my training below three-quarter
time but remain in attendance, VA, in its sole discretion, may permit me to complete this agreement. If I terminate school attendance, VA will
not approve any work-study hours beyond the date of such termination. VA will notify me in writing of its approval of my continued
performance.
7. I may terminate this agreement at any time by sending written notice to VA, and VA may terminate this agreement for cause by furnishing
written notice to me. Otherwise, this agreement will terminate on the ending date of the specified agreement period, or earlier if I cease to
meet the minimum training-time requirement or terminate my school attendance before that date (see paragraphs 5 and 6, above).
8. Any amount of work-study allowance paid to me for which I fail to satisfactorily perform equivalent hours of service in accordance with
the terms of this agreement shall be declared an overpayment for which I shall be liable to the United States. Any such overpayment shall,
unless waived by VA, be recovered in the same manner as any other debt due the United States.
9. This agreement, entered into under the authority of section 3485 title 38, United States Code, shall become effective upon its acceptance by
a duly authorized officer of VA.
