                  Subpart A--Federal Work-Study Program
 
Sec. 675.22  Employment provided by a Federal, State, or local public agency, or a private nonprofit organization.

    (a) If a student is employed by a Federal, State, or local public 
agency, or a private nonprofit organization, the work that the student 
performs must be in the public interest.
    (b) FWS employment in the public interest. The Secretary considers 
work in the public interest to be work performed for the national or 
community welfare rather than work performed to benefit a particular 
interest or group. Work is not in the public interest if--
    (1) It primarily benefits the members of a limited membership 
organization such as a credit union, a fraternal or religious order, or 
a cooperative;
    (2) It is for an elected official who is not responsible for the 
regular administration of Federal, State, or local government;
    (3) It is work as a political aide for any elected official;
    (4) A student's political support or party affiliation is taken into 
account in hiring him or her;
    (5) It involves any partisan or nonpartisan political activity or is 
associated with a faction in an election for public or party office; or
    (6) It involves lobbying on the Federal, State, or local level.
