Abstract: The VA Work Study program allows Veterans and other VA beneficiaries who are enrolled at least 3/4 time (75% Rate of Pursuit) in school to earn pay by working part-time jobs related to VA services. These jobs are available at locations such as colleges and training facilities, VA Regional Offices, VA cemeteries, and other allowed sites. Each work site wishing to be considered for approval must submit a request for approval. Required information to determine suitability as a work site includes items such as the location of the work site, the type of facility, designation of Primary and Secondary Work Site Supervisors, and confirmation that Human Resources is aware of VA Work Study program participation.

VA Form 22-10219, Department of Veterans Affairs Work Study Site Application, will capture this information in an efficient manner when a work site initially applies for VA approval. Historically, the VA Work Study Team has provided a locally produced template to capture this information. A digital process will ( printed page 63672) reduce administrative delays, facilitate faster communication between schools and VA, and streamline record-keeping. Additionally, an official form is required to lay the groundwork for future automation of the application process.

Affected Public: Individuals, households and educational Institutions.

Estimated Annual Burden: 292 hours.

Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 10 minutes.

Frequency of Response: Annually, or as needed.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,750.
