Currently, veterans utilizing their GI Bill benefits who qualify for work-study may only hold positions related to VA work. H.R. 6224, the "Pilot College Work Study Programs for Veterans Act," directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to conduct a five-year pilot project to test the feasibility of expanding qualifying work-study activities to include positions in academic departments. The second bill is intended to help protect veterans from losing their jobs due to military service. Learn more about these bills.
