in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Since November 29, 1999, the Geological Survey can hire students or recent graduates directly, or through schools and nonprofits, for short-term work. These workers count as federal employees only for travel injury compensation and tort claim purposes. They are not federal employees for any other purpose.

Since November 29, 1999, the United States Geological Survey may contract directly with individuals, or indirectly through schools or nonprofit organizations, to get temporary or occasional work from students or recent graduates. This can happen without following the usual contracting rule in section 6101 of title 41. These workers count as "employees" only for two purposes: getting compensation for travel and work injuries under chapters 57 and 81 of title 5, and tort claims under chapter 171 of title 28. For every other purpose, they are not considered federal employees.
