Federal Work Study Forms
Before you can recieve a paycheck there are three forms that have to be filled out and submitted to the Financial Aid Office. They are the
- W-4 Form
- Employment Eligibility Verification Form 9
- Work Study Contract
The W4 Form must be kept on file with the payroll department, since it lists the allowances, which will be used as deductions from your weekly earnings.
U.S. immigration laws require that all new employees comlete an I-9 Form within three business days of the date of hire. This applies to work study students as well. The required documentation must be reviewed and verified before you can begin work. You will need two forms of identifaction to complete this form, preferably a driver's license and social security card.
Once you have completed an I-9 and W-4 Form you will be issued a Work-Sudy Contract.
The work study contract outlines the conditions that you must meet in order to be employed under the Federal Work Study program. It also identifies you as a participant in VTC's work study program. The Financial Aid Office will complete section A, your supervisor will complete section B, and you must sign and date it in section C. You will be responsible for returning the completed form to the Financial Aid Office. You may not begin work until the contract is completed.
