    Type of Review: New Collection.
    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

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.

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.
