HR 7643 United States House · 118th Congress

Veterans Congressional Work Study Act of 2024

HR 7643, the Veterans Congressional Work Study Act of 2024, amends existing law to allow veterans using a Department of Veterans Affairs work-study allowance to work in specific congressional offices. It directly affects veterans enrolled in the VA work-study program by expanding where they can apply their allowance - specifically permitting work in committee offices, the Congressional Research Service, the Government Accountability Office, or the Congressional Budget Office. The key change adds a new provision (subparagraph L) to the eligibility rules, specifying these congressional entities as approved locations for such work. This is a procedural adjustment to the existing work-study program, not a new benefit or policy change.
