I,
Affairs (VA) during the period starting on or about
VA agrees to pay me a total of $

(student), agree to perform
hours of service for the Department of Veterans
and ending no later than
(agreement period), in consideration of which
, 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 re-enroll) 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.
