This section governs application of provisions of federal law. It sets the duties, permissions, limits, procedures, reports, or funding rules stated in the section.
(a) (1) Except as this subsection and 5 U.S.C. 8143(a) provide, Job Corps* enrollees are not Federal employees and are not covered by Federal-employment laws on hours, pay rates, leave, unemployment compensation, or Federal benefits. (2) For title 26 and title II of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), an enrollee* is treated as a United States employee and enrollee service as United States employment. (3) For 5 U.S.C. chapter 81, subchapter I, an enrollee is a civil Government employee within “employee” in section 8101, and that subchapter applies as section 8143(a) specifies. (4) For Federal tort-claims provisions in title 28, enrollees are Government employees. (b) If the Secretary finds a person-or-property damage claim from Job Corps operations is properly chargeable to the United States but section 2672 of title 28 does not cover it, the Secretary may settle it for up to $1,500. (c) Uniformed-service personnel detailed or assigned under agreements supporting Job Corps do not count toward statutory service-strength limits or authorized percentages for service grades.
Except as otherwise provided in this subsection and in section 8143(a) of title 5, enrollees shall not be considered to be Federal employees and shall not be subject to the provisions of law relating to Federal employment, including such provisions regarding hours of work, rates of compensation, leave, unemployment compensation, and Federal employee benefits.
For purposes of title 26 and title II of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), enrollees shall be deemed to be employees of the United States and any service performed by an individual as an enrollee* shall be deemed to be performed in the employ of the United States.
For purposes of subchapter I of chapter 81 of title 5 (relating to compensation to Federal employees for work injuries), enrollees shall be deemed to be civil employees of the Government of the United States within the meaning of the term “employee” as defined in section 8101 of title 5, and the provisions of such subchapter shall apply as specified in section 8143(a) of title 5.
For purposes of the Federal tort claims provisions in title 28, enrollees shall be considered to be employees of the Government.
Whenever the Secretary finds a claim for damages to a person or property resulting from the operation of the Job Corps* to be a proper charge against the United States, and the claim is not cognizable under section 2672 of title 28, the Secretary may adjust and settle the claim in an amount not exceeding $1,500.
Personnel of the uniformed services who are detailed or assigned to duty in the performance of agreements made by the Secretary for the support of the Job Corps shall not be counted in computing strength under any law limiting the strength of such services or in computing the percentage authorized by law for any grade in such services.
